About this map

The northernmost point of the contiguous United States is defined by the international border between Canada and the United States shown here along the waters of the Northwest Angle Inlet. The remote settlement of Angle Inlet serves as the focal point for this isolated exclave, where the Angle Inlet Post Office and Northwest Angle Airport provide essential links to the rest of Minnesota.

A sparse network of local roads such as Dawson Rd NW and Inlet Rd NW provides land access between the shoreline and the interior drainage of Crow Creek and Pine Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the unique geography of the Angle, where the landscape is a patchwork of wetlands and small waterways like Pickerel Creek and Stony Creek, highlighting a way of life dictated by the water and the nearby Canadian boundary.
