About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this northern borderland, where a complex network of islands and points defines the transition between land and water. The community of Island View serves as a central hub for the area's seasonal and recreational life, supported by a density of established lakeside destinations including the Sha-Sha Resort, Island View Lodge, and the Thunderbird Resort. Access to the interior waters is facilitated through Spring Lodge Resort and Marina, while landmarks like the Black Bay Lookout Tower and Bald Rock Light provide essential navigation and fire-watch perspectives over the expansive archipelago.

Local social and youth development sites are represented by the Koochiching Sportsmans Association and Camp Koochiching, both situated along the northern shores. The map captures the specialized geography of the border region, featuring named landforms such as Steeprock Island, Little American Island, and Grindstone Island. This 2012 survey illustrates how road systems like County Hwy 137 and Park Rd tie the mainland settlements to the various landings and points along the lakefront.
