About this map

The northernmost point of the contiguous United States comes into sharp focus in this 1960s survey of the Northwest Angle. This unique geographic chimney is defined by the international boundary between the Canada United States border and Ontario Minnesota line. The landscape is primarily one of low-lying water and dense timber, dominated by the Northwest Angle State Forest and the expansive Caribou Bog.

Settlement is concentrated near the community of Angle Inlet, where the Angle Inlet Sch and Carlson Airfield serve this isolated enclave. The map records the seasonal nature of travel in the region, noting several Winter Trail routes that cross the Sevenmile Swamp and frozen waterways. Portions of the Red Lake Indian Reservation and Northwest Angle Indian Reserve 33B occupy significant tracts of the interior, illustrating the complex jurisdictional landscape of this borderland.
