2016 Map of Loman

About this map

The Rainy River defines the international border on this 2016 survey, separating Minnesota from Canada in the northern reaches of Koochiching County. The small settlement of Loman sits at the confluence where the Black River joins the larger border stream, serving as a focal point for local transportation routes like Co Rd 125 and W Fork Rd. This area is characterized by dense wetlands and low-lying riverine islands such as Smoot Island and Watrous Island. Genealogical interests are centered around Riverside Cem near the river bank, while the small community of Indus anchors the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map details a landscape transition where the forest meets the drainage networks of the West Fork Black River and Locking Cr, illustrating the isolation and specialized infrastructure required for this borderland environment.
