2021 Map of Canada Falls Lake

About this map

Canada Falls Lake dominates the upper portion of this Somerset County landscape, where the South Branch Penobscot River feeds into its western waters. The topography is defined by the significant rise of Ironbound Mtn to the south, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and smaller water bodies including Beaver Pond and the Trickey Ponds. Navigation through this forested terrain is limited to a few specific corridors such as Alder Brook Rd and Cunningham Rd, which trace the drainage patterns of the region's numerous brooks. The hydrography of the southern slopes is shaped by the headwaters of the S Br Brassua Stream, illustrating the divide between the Penobscot and Brassua watersheds. This area of Thorndike Township remains largely undeveloped, characterized by timberlands and a high density of named brooks like Hale Brook and Fish Brook.
