Before 1944 Suomenvedenpohja was located in the city of Viipuri and in municipality of Viipuri in Finland.
In the Middle Ages, the river Vuoksa had an outlet in Suomenvedenpohja, which however dried up little by little due to post-glacial rebound and was left completely dry in 1857 when the Kiviniemi rapids in Losevo, Karelian isthmus were formed and the Burnaya River became the main outlet of Vuoksa.
