2013 Map of Birchdale

About this map

The Rainy River defines the international boundary between Minnesota and Canada on this northern border map. The small settlement of Birchdale sits just south of the riverbanks along MN-11, serving as a local hub for the surrounding township. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by the river’s course and the infrastructure supporting travel and forestry near the boundary. Notable landmarks include the Birchdale Lookout Tower, indicating the region’s importance for forest management and fire observation. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Birchdale Cem and the Po, while the presence of the Long Sault Rapids marks a significant hydrological feature of the river, historically important for navigation and local geography.
