2016 Map of Island View OE N

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this international border region, where the water is punctuated by numerous landmasses including Eight Mile Island, Jackfish Island, and Red Sucker Island. The boundary between the United States of America and Canada cuts through the southern reaches of the map, specifically within Koochiching Co, Minnesota. The landscape is primarily aquatic and undeveloped, characterized by intricate shorelines and smaller interior water bodies such as Moosehorn Lake and Nickel Lake. The drainage pattern is further defined by Nickel Cr, flowing through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey provides a modern record of the island formations and waterways along this northern frontier, serving as a primary reference for the geographic relationship between the two nations in this waterway.
