2010 Map of Garden Island East

About this map

Lake of the Woods dominates this international boundary landscape, where the border between the Canada and the United States weaves through an archipelago of secluded islands. The largest landmass shown is the eastern portion of Garden Island, which sits across the water from smaller features such as Little Massacre Island and Bridges Island. This nautical and topographical survey reveals the intricate shoreline of the Northwest Angle region, characterized by a series of named islands like Little Oak Island, Hay Island, and Norman Island. The absence of roads or developed infrastructure emphasizes the maritime nature of this borderland, where travel is dictated by the vast expanse of the lake and the positioning of rocky outcroppings like Kirk Island and Shady Island.
