2011 Map of Canada Falls Lake

About this map

Canada Falls Lake dominates this Somerset County landscape, its sprawling shoreline creating a complex network of inlets and coves fed by numerous tributaries. The hydrology of this North Woods region is defined by the South Branch Penobscot River and its interaction with the lake, while the southern reaches are marked by the elevation of Ironbound Mountain. This topography funnels water through a series of smaller catchments, including Alder Pond, Ironbound Pond, and the Trickey Ponds. The map reveals a wild, unsettled character where drainage patterns like Hale Brook and the South Branch Brassua Stream dictate the movement across the terrain. This survey provides a clear look at the timberlands and waterways before modern development altered these remote Maine townships.
