The Compensating Works of the Lake Superior Power Company
Lake Superior, the most westerly and the largest of the Great Lakes, covering an area of about 32 000 sq. miles, has a mean elevation of 602.5 ft. above sea level. The outlet of the lake is through Lake Huron, by way of the St. Mary's River, with the Province of Ontario on the north, and the State of Michigan on the south. At the head of the river is a rocky barrier, forming the “Soo” Rapids,. which have a fall of 19 ft. in a distance of 3 600 ft. At the upper end of the rapids the river is 2400 ft. wide, and is crossed by a railroad bridge of ten spans. This bridge connects the two cities of Sault Ste. Marie. The outflow through St. Mary's River, according to the best information available, varies from 56 157 to 125147 cu. ft. per sec., with an average flow of about 92 000 cu. ft. per sec., the volume depending upon the stage of the lake.
