2010 Map of Border

About this map

Rainy River defines the international boundary between Minnesota and Ontario in this northern borderland region. The landscape is characterized by a sparse network of rural roads that connect small, isolated settlements such as Central, Border, and Frontier. These communities are linked by routes like County Hwy 4 and the descriptively named Frontier Farmers Rd, which reflect the area's agricultural and frontier identity. Local history and genealogy are anchored at Riverdale Cemetery, located near the riverbank where Whitefish Creek feeds into the main waterway. This map provides a clear record of the small-scale settlement patterns and essential infrastructure that sustained this remote international crossing during the early 21st century.
