2011 Map of Birchdale

About this map

Birchdale sits at the southern edge of the international border, anchored by the wide path of the Rainy River. This 2011 survey captures the settlement's core services and community landmarks, including the Birchdale Post Office and the Birchdale Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the river's meandering course, which serves as the primary geographic feature separating Minnesota from Ontario. Local infrastructure like the Birchdale Lookout Tower and the Birchdale Rest Area indicate the area's role as a waypoint for travelers and forest management. The road network, including County Hwy-86 and Town Road 117, branches off from the main corridor, providing access to the wooded hinterlands and riverfront properties in this quiet borderland region.
