The northernmost reach of the contiguous United States is defined by this 2013 survey of Angle Inlet, where the international border separates Minnesota from Canada. The settlement at Angle Inlet serves as a remote outpost, supported by the Northwest Angle Airport and a small local road network including Dawson Rd NW and E Pine Dr NW. The geography is dominated by the intricate shoreline of the Lake of the Woods, with various drainage systems such as Poplar Creek, Crow Cr, and Pine Cr feeding into the larger basin. Moving inland to the south, the landscape is marked by Pickerel Cr and Stony Cr, illustrating the low-lying, water-dense terrain of Lake of the Woods County. This map is essential for understanding the modern layout of this unique geographic exclave, showing the relationship between small-scale habitation and the expansive international boundary.
