2011 Map of Angle Inlet SW

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada cuts across this 2011 survey of a remote northern landscape. The map is defined by the waters of the Northwest Angle Inlet and the narrow corridors of Bear Creek and Stony Creek. Human presence is sparse, dominated by a single north-south terrestrial link identified simply as Winter Rd. This seasonal path provides a rare look at the rudimentary transportation network required to navigate the low-lying, water-dense terrain of the Northwest Angle. The lack of permanent structures or developed towns emphasizes the isolated character of this corner of North America, where the landscape is shaped primarily by hydrography and the geopolitical boundary line.
