1989 Map of Canada Falls Lake

About this map

Canada Falls Lake dominates this northern Somerset County landscape, serving as a focal point for the complex hydrography of the Maine woods. The map details a region defined by expansive timberlands and historical township grants, including the Pittston Academy Grant and Soldiertown. The drainage pattern is intricate, with the South Branch Penobscot River and its tributaries like Mullen Brook and Cunningham Brook flowing into the central reservoir. To the south, the topography rises significantly toward Ironbound Mountain, which overlooks Ironbound Pond and the headwaters of the South Branch Brassua Stream. This 1989 survey captures the area in its role as a managed forest and recreational wilderness, marked by a network of unimproved roads and remote bodies of water such as Hale Pond and Trickey Ponds.
