1979 Map of Canada Falls Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Canada Falls Lake dominates this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to capture the intricate hydrography of Somerset County, Maine. The imagery reveals the complex shoreline of the lake and the winding path of the South Branch Penobscot River as it snakes through a heavily forested landscape. The map provides a distinct look at the northern wilderness before the widespread use of digital GIS, showing the natural drainage patterns of tributary systems like Cunningham Brook and Fish Brook. Unlike standard topographic maps, this photographic approach highlights the texture of the forest canopy and the precise reach of the wetlands surrounding Alder Brook and Hale Brook. Researchers can use these visual details to observe the land use and timber management patterns in the Maine North Woods during the late twentieth century.
