2011 Map of Island View OE N

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this aquatic landscape along the Minnesota-Ontario border, where the expanse of water is broken only by numerous wooded islands and rocky outcroppings. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the international boundary as it threads through a complex archipelago. Notable landforms within the lake include the prominent Eightmile Island, as well as Hvoslef Island and Red Sucker Island to the south. The map primarily documents the intricate shoreline and the bathymetry of the northern reaches of the lake, serving as a primary reference for the geography of the Rainy River District before further environmental or navigational changes.
