About this map

Lake of the Woods dominates this aquatic landscape in northernmost Minnesota, illustrating the intricate shoreline and isolated landmasses along the international border. This 2010 survey focuses on the remote island and peninsula features that define the western reaches of the Garden Island area. Notable landforms include the narrow protrusions of Driftwood Point and Rooty Point, which extend into the massive lake basin. The map provides a detailed look at the water-to-land interface, emphasizing the navigational hazards and geological formations of this border region. These specific points and islands serve as critical landmarks for boaters and researchers studying the shifting hydrology and shoreline morphology of this expansive freshwater sea.
