2018 Map of Canada Falls Lake

About this map

Canada Falls Lake dominates this northern Somerset County landscape, where the South Branch Penobscot River feeds into a complex network of wetlands and drainage. The terrain rises sharply to the south at Ironbound Mtn, a prominent peak that overlooks the surrounding timberlands and several small interior basins like Beaver Pond and the Trickey Ponds. This 2018 topographic survey reveals the enduring character of the Maine woods, where movement is dictated by the flow of water and a sparse network of logging routes such as Alder Brook Rd and Cunningham Rd. The hydrography is particularly intricate, including the southern reaches of the S Br Brassua Stream and numerous smaller tributaries like Hale Brook and Fish Brook, reflecting a region primarily defined by its watershed and natural topography rather than permanent settlement.
