About this map

Basswood Lake dominates this international boundary landscape where the waters of northern Minnesota meet Ontario. This 2016 survey highlights a complex network of glacial islands and sheltered bays within the Superior National Forest. The map documents the intricate shoreline of Wind Bay and Hoist Bay, along with smaller interior water bodies like Indiana Lake, Good Lake, and Wind Lake.

The presence of United States Point and islands such as Indian Grave Island, Washington Island, and Lincoln Island illustrates the geographic complexity of the border region. The land remains largely undeveloped, defined by the natural contours of the Superior National Forest and the vast expanse of the Basswood Lake basin, which serves as a critical point of connectivity for water travel in this remote northern wilderness.
