About this map

Northwest Angle State Forest dominates this northern frontier landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada meets the provincial line of Manitoba. The area is defined by a network of seasonal transportation routes, including the historic Dawson Road and various sections of Winter Road and Winter Trail, which provided essential access through the dense wetlands of Sevenmile Swamp.

The territory is heavily partitioned by tribal lands, featuring Indian Reserve 34C, Indian Reserve 37C, and the northern reaches of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. These administrative boundaries intersect a hydrographic system of meandering waterways like Harrison Creek and Sevenmile Creek that flow toward the Northwest Angle Inlet of Lake of the Woods. The map records a moment before modern infrastructure, showing a wilderness reliant on drainage and seasonal paths.
