1958 Map of International Falls

About this map

International Falls and its Canadian neighbor Fort Frances serve as the primary gateway between Minnesota and Ontario in this mid-century survey of the Northwoods. The Rainy River defines the international boundary, connecting the expansive waters of Rainy Lake to the eastern edge of the Lake of the Woods watershed. The landscape is a complex maze of water and timberland, including the Nett Lake Indian Reservation and numerous smaller reserves like Rainy Lake Indian Reserve No 17B scattered along the northern shorelines.
