1969 Map of Island View

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this northern frontier, where the international boundary between Canada and the United States threads through a labyrinth of islands and bays. The settlement of Island View sits perched on the shoreline, serving as a gateway to the newly established Voyageurs National Park. The landscape is a complex network of water and timber, punctuated by landmarks such as the Black Bay Lookout Tower and numerous family-named islands like Fransen Island and Dryweed Island. A network of seasonal Winter Trails crisscrosses the low-lying wetlands south of Black Bay, leading toward the Root River. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures a transitional period for the Border Waters, documenting the infrastructure of both the local timber economy and the conservation efforts that defined the Koochiching County coastline.
