1999 Map of Island View

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Island View serves as a gateway to the northern water-bound borderlands, where the Ontario Minnesota Boundary threads through the island-choked waters of Rainy Lake. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Voyageurs National Park and the deep woods of the Koochiching State Forest, connected by a network of seasonal routes including the Winter Trail. Navigation is the primary theme of the area, centered on landmarks like the Black Bay Lookout Tower and the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. The map details a complex archipelago including Little American Island, Grindstone Island, and the uniquely named Aeroplane Island. To the south, the terrain shifts into the marshy lowland drainage of the Root River, illustrating the rugged and transitionary nature of this border region near the turn of the 21st century.
