I took those stressed-plastic (topography) quad sheets for the southern U.S. and shined a sharp, oblique spotlight.
One fellow told me to make an expedition to the (apparent, presumed) rebound cone and look for shattercones, but that's a bit much for an old guy like me. RATS! My image is 1.2 megs, I'll add the post in the AM. A link is here EDIT OK here is the image. The rebound cone is called Paynes Mountain, and Pack Mountain, a little east of Copperhill TN.

It actually looks like you picked out Manicouagan Reservoir in Quebec, which is indeed also an impact crater. The Sudbury basin is in Ontario, just north of the Georgian Bay off Lake Huron.
Here's a crop of your image showing the location of Sudbury, as best I can tell:
