The northern boundary of the United States defines this remote landscape at the edge of the Northwest Angle Inlet. This 2019 survey documents a region dominated by wetlands and water, where seasonal access is maintained via the Winter Rd. The terrain is characterized by broad reaches of the Sixmile Swamp, which stretches across the international border and dictates the drainage patterns of local waterways. Numerous creeks, including Harrison Cr, Poplar Cr, and Stony Cr, meander through the marshy lowland, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Lake of the Woods region. The map provides a precise look at the township and range lines, such as t168n r35w, as they intersect the geopolitical line between Minnesota and Canada, capturing the isolation and unique geography of this northernmost point in the contiguous United States.
