2019 Map of Island View

About this map

Island View sits at the edge of a complex watery landscape dominated by Rainy Lake and the dense island chains along the international boundary. This modern survey illustrates the overlapping management of public lands, where Voyageurs National Park and the Superior National Forest meet. The map detail highlights an intricate archipelago including named landmarks like Grindstone Island, Aeroplane Island, and Big American Island, many of which are accessible only by water. The shoreline is punctuated by deep indentations such as Black Bay and Tilson Bay, while the northern margin follows the Usa border through the American Narrows. South of the lake, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and forest, providing a clear record of the region's current hydrology and protected wilderness boundaries.
