2022 Map of Loman

About this map

The Rainy River forms a dominant international boundary along the northern edge of this Koochiching County landscape, separating Minnesota from Canada. The small settlement of Loman serves as a local hub near the confluence of the West Fork Black River and the Black River, while the community of Indus sits further north along the river's edge. This region is characterized by extensive wetlands and low-lying terrain typical of the northern borderlands. Genealogists and local historians will find the Riverside Cem near Loman, a key landmark for tracing early families in the area. The map also details numerous islands within the river channel, including Smoot Island and Watrous Island, which have historically influenced local navigation and land use patterns along the border.
