1969 Map of Island View

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Koochiching County survey, defining a complex borderland of interconnected bays and rocky islands along the Canada United States boundary. The settlement of Island View serves as a gateway to the waters of Jackfish Bay, Grassy Bay, and Frank Bay, where the shoreline is punctuated by local landmarks like Sha Sha Point and Neil Point. The inclusion of Voyageurs National Park reflects the transition of this wilderness into a protected landscape, where history is marked by the Black Bay Lookout Tower and mining-era remnants on Little American Island. To the south, the terrain shifts from the island-dotted lake to the wetlands surrounding the Rat Root River, with a network of Winter Trails providing access through the dense woodland. This map documents a period when the timber and water resources of the North Woods were increasingly balanced with conservation and recreation.
