Recently, the author together with Taylor showed that Anosov foliations with branching admit nonconjugate universal circles. We continue the study of these universal circles and show that for an Anosov foliation with branching on a hyperbolic manifold, the leftmost universal circle admits a Cannon--Thurston-type map to the ideal 2-sphere. This is a new type of construction of a Cannon--Thurston map. As a corollary, we show the fundamental group of the manifold acts on the leftmost universal circle with pseudo-Anosov dynamics.
