About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this international border region, where the boundary between the Canada and United States weaves through a complex archipelago. This 2010 survey details a landscape of interconnected waterways and named landforms, including Three Sisters Islands, Shelland Island, and the distinctively named Windmill Rock on the eastern edge. The topography reveals a wilderness of interior lakes such as Fishmouth Lake, Peary Lake, and Cruiser Lake, which are separated by narrow land bridges and points like Stoffels Point.

The presence of landmarks like Idle Hour Island and Blueberry Island suggests a history of local navigation and seasonal use. Further south, the map identifies Shoepack Lake and Beast Lake, illustrating the dense cluster of water bodies that characterize this part of the Rainy River District and Minnesota borderlands. This document provides a clear view of the natural features and small islands that define the northern frontier just prior to the second decade of the 21st century.
