2016 Map of Grand Portage OE N

About this map

The Pigeon River serves as a prominent natural and political boundary in this 2016 survey, delineating the international border between Canada and the United States. This specific corridor highlights the edge of the Grand Portage National Monument in Cook County, Minnesota, where the river's path dictates the historic portage route. The presence of Old Hwy 61 and Joes Rd near the river bank shows the modern infrastructure following much older terrestrial travel ways. The map primarily documents the wilderness and water-based topography along the northernmost reach of the Arrowhead Region, illustrating the rugged landscape where the river transitions toward the Great Lakes system.
