1985 Map of Angle Inlet

About this map

Angle Inlet and the northernmost reaches of Minnesota are documented here at the edge of the international border with Canada. This map focuses on the unique geography of the Northwest Angle, where the Red Lake Indian Reservation and Northwest Angle State Forest dominate the landscape. The planimetric detail emphasizes the isolation of this region, reachable primarily by water or through Manitoba. Small localized features such as Carlson Airfield and Sandy Beach provide evidence of the area's light human footprint amidst the expansive Lake of the Woods. The terrain is characterized by intricate shorelines including Sand Point Bay and Stony Point, along with the low-lying Calibou Bog. This survey captures the jurisdictional complexity of the Kenora District, Ontario and Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota boundary line cutting through the water.
