Lake of the Woods dominates the aquatic landscape of this northern borderland, where the intricate shoreline of the Northwest Angle meets the international boundary. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey depicts the remote character of this region, specifically focusing on the area where the Canada U.S.A. border cuts through the water and sparsely forested land. The survey illustrates the unique geographic position of Minnesota and Lake of the Woods County at the northernmost point of the contiguous United States. This map is particularly useful for understanding the complex hydrography and boundary lines of a region defined more by its waterways and international markers than by traditional road networks or settlements.
