About this map

Voyageurs National Park encompasses the southern half of this boundary survey, illustrating a complex aqueous landscape where the United States and Canada meet. This international border traverses the waters of Namakan Lake and Rainy Lake, weaving through a dense archipelago of named landforms. Notable islands such as Pike Island, Juniper Island, and the humorously paired My Island and Your Island are clearly delineated against the open water of the Blind Pig Channel.

South of the border, the terrain transitions into the protected forests and smaller interior basins of the park, including O'Leary Lake, Little Trout Lake, and Lucille Lake. The shoreline is deeply articulated by geographic features like Hammer Bay and Grassy Bay, while the northern portion of the map into Canada shows the wide expanse of Salo Lake. This 2016 record provides a precise look at the modern hydrography and topography of the Rainy River District, defined by its intricate network of lakes and islands.
