2016 Map of Kempton Bay

About this map

Voyageurs National Park and the sprawling waters of Rainy Lake dominate this borderland landscape, where the international boundary between Minnesota and Canada cuts through a complex archipelago of islands and narrow channels. The map documents a maze of glaciated terrain characterized by small, inland water bodies such as Cruiser Lake, Shoepack Lake, and Peary Lake that sit elevated above the primary shoreline of Kempton Bay. This remote wilderness region is defined by its lack of roads and settlements, relying instead on waterways like the Kempton Channel for navigation. Named landmarks such as Stoffels Point, Blueberry Island, and the Three Sisters Islands serve as critical navigation markers for those traversing the northern waters. The intricate shoreline of Browns Bay and Finger Bay reveals the deeply indented nature of the peninsula south of the main lake body.
