About this map

Rainy River defines the international boundary between Ontario and Minnesota in this late 1960s survey. The settlement of Clementson is situated at the confluence of the river and Silver Creek, serving as a focal point for local families and early travelers. The geography reveals a transition from the structured movement of the Canadian National railroad in the north to the sprawling wetlands and timberlands of the Pine Island State Forest in the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Silver Creek Cem and Clementson Cem clearly marked, along with the meandering paths of the Rapid River and its Eidems Rapids. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Jeep Trail suggests a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and rugged access, while Roadside Park offers a glimpse into the early recreational infrastructure along the border.
