2013 Map of Manitou OE N

About this map

Rainy River serves as the international boundary on this 2013 survey, dividing the United States and Canada. In Koochiching Co, the settlement of Manitou is situated along the southern bank, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and the input of Burton Cr. This northern Minnesota borderland displays a characteristic transition from river-bottom geography to the expansive, less-developed reaches to the north. Transportation in the area is facilitated by MN-11, which parallels the waterway, and secondary routes like Town Road 121 that lead into the interior. The map illustrates the proximity of these small border communities to the Canadian frontier, capturing the isolated but interconnected nature of the region's river-based settlement pattern.
