The watershed of
Togus Pond is shown as the area
in green, covering roughly 4.8 square miles. This is an area of land that drains down-slope into Togus
Pond. The water moves through a network of drainage pathways, both
underground and on the surface. Generally, these pathways converge into
streams and rivers, which become progressively larger as the water moves on
downstream. Dam Pond also feeds
into the Togus Pond watershed so it is considered an indirect watershed.

Togus Receives
water from a variety of sources.
One of the main input sources is from a stream that flows into the
lake at route 3. Other
tributaries can be found primarily along the northern half of the lake as
well. It is also likely that
Togus is spring fed, but there is no way to measure this contribution.

Water Flows out
from Togus Pond and into Lower Togus at the Route 105 culvert, and into Togus
Stream which empties into the Kennebec river.
