About this map

Northwest Angle State Forest and the northern reaches of the Red Lake Indian Reservation anchor this international borderlands survey, where the peculiar geography of the Northwest Angle meets the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands and isolated ridges such as Cotes Ridge and the Cat Hills, reflecting the post-glacial character of the region.

Water dominates the eastern half of the map, from the expansive Buffalo Bay to the smaller Moose Lake. Local access points like the Northwest Angle Airfield and settlements at Sandy Beach illustrate the sparse human footprint in this wilderness area during the mid-1980s. Across the border, the Moose Lake Provincial Recreation Park and the massive Whitemouth Lake demonstrate the shared ecological character of this remote lake country.
