About this map

The Northwest Angle, a unique American exclave, is defined by its waterborne boundaries and the winding course of Powawassan Creek. This 2022 survey documents the remote landscape where the northernmost reaches of Minnesota meet the Canadian border, specifically at the Can Usa international line. The geography is characterized by the expansive waters of Shoal Lake and the intricate shoreline of the Northwest Angle Inlet at the southern edge of the sheet.

This area remains largely undeveloped, with the map focusing on the natural hydrography and township divisions like t168n r35w. The lack of road infrastructure highlights the reliance on water routes and the preservation of the wetlands surrounding Powawassan Cr. It provides a modern record of one of the most geographically distinct corners of the United States, where land access is only possible through Canada.
