2016 Map of Manitou OE N

About this map

Rainy River forms a definitive international boundary in this northern landscape, separating Minnesota from Canada. The settlement of Manitou sits along the southern bank, where the land is characterized by the turbulent Manitou Rapids. This 2016 survey illustrates the remote, water-defined geography of Koochiching Co, where numerous tributaries such as Sturgeon Cr, Sims Cr, and Manitou Cr drain southward toward the border. The intricate network of small streams like Mather I Cr and Mather II Cr highlights the low-lying, riparian nature of the terrain north of the river. Infrastructure is concentrated near the border, where Co Rd 148 and various utility corridors provide access to this isolated riverfront community.
