1967 Map of Kettle Falls

About this map

Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake dominate this international borderland, where the boundary between the United States and Canada runs through open water and narrow channels. Centered on the historic portage point at Kettle Falls, the landscape is a complex network of islands and peninsulas, including Minnitaki Island and the rugged Deerhorn Point. Significant portions of the southern terrain are designated as Voyageurs National Park, preserving a wilderness of interconnected waterways like Mica Bay and Anderson Bay. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Cormorant Bay and the northern reaches of Rat River Bay, illustrating the difficult navigation of the region. Inland water bodies such as Ryan Lake and McDivitt Lake are tucked into the dense topography, showing the area's character as it was documented in the late 1960s with early 1980s revisions.
