2016 Map of Island View

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada cuts through Rainy Lake in this 2016 survey, where the settlement of Island View serves as a gateway to the protected waters and islands of Voyageurs National Park. This portion of Koochiching Co is defined by an intricate archipelago including Little American Island, Big American Island, and Aeroplane Island. On the American side, the landscape is heavily forested, transitioning into the Superior National Forest to the south and east. Large bodies of water like Jackfish Bay and Black Bay dominate the topography, connected by passages such as the American Narrows and Grassy Narrows. The map details local infrastructure serving these water-access points, including Co Rd 102 and Co Rd 138, which lead to various points along the shoreline like Neil Point and Sha Sha Point.
