1999 Map of Grand Portage

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Pigeon River forms a jagged international boundary between the United States and Canada in this northern corner of Minnesota. The landscape is dominated by the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, where the historic Grand Portage National Monument follows an ancient overland route. This bypass was essential for early trade, connecting the rugged shoreline of Grand Portage Bay to the navigable waters of the interior. The settlement of Grand Portage sits at the foot of Mt. Rose, near the protected waters of the bay and Grand Portage Island. Inland, the terrain is marked by significant elevations like Mt. Josephine and water bodies such as Teal Lake and Dutchman Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks like the Pagan Cem and the Lookout Tower, alongside natural features such as The Tunnel and Horn Rapids along the river.
