2016 Map of Angle Inlet

About this map

The Canada-United States border defines the northern reaches of this map, showcasing the unique geography of Minnesota's Northwest Angle. This isolated exclave is anchored by the settlement of Angle Inlet, the northernmost community in the contiguous United States. The landscape is a mosaic of vast wetlands, including Sevenmile Swamp, and waterways that drain into the Lake of the Woods. Transportation in this remote lake-country relies on a small network of roads like Dawson Rd NW and the Northwest Angle Airport, reflecting the area's specialized role in border security and wilderness access. Creeks such as Pine Cr and Crow Cr meander through the marshy interior, eventually reaching the Northwest Angle Inlet or the sheltered waters of Caribou Bay.
