2022 Map of Kettle Falls

About this map

Kettle Falls serves as the focal point of this northern wilderness, situated where the waters of Namakan Lake flow toward Rainy Lake. The landscape is dominated by the protected terrain of Voyageurs National Park, characterized by a complex network of bays and islands along the international border. The survey clearly delineates the maritime boundary between Canada and the United States, which threads through open water and around numerous landmasses such as Snake Island and Surveyors Island. Small, isolated inlets like Anderson Bay and Mica Bay indent the shoreline, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Saint Louis County borderlands. This modern topographic record captures the area's preservation-focused character, where the natural water systems define both the geopolitical limits and the internal geography of the park.
