2022 Map of Cranberry Bay OE N

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this northern wilderness landscape along the international border between Minnesota and Ontario. This 2022 survey captures the intricate aquatic network of the region, where the water is dotted with numerous small islands and complex shorelines. Much of the southern portion of this quadrangle falls within Voyageurs National Park, a protected area that preserves the routes of the historic North American fur trade. The southernmost edge of the map identifies the geopolitical boundary between Canada and the United States of America, marking a remote stretch where the border follows the natural contours of the waterway. The map provides a contemporary view of this labyrinthine lake system, essential for understanding modern conservation efforts and the navigation of these boundary waters.
