About this map

Lake of the Woods defines the watery geography of this northern frontier, where the international boundary between the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and CANADA bisects the open water and small landmasses of the Angle Inlet area. The map centers on Oak Island, the largest terrestrial feature shown, which is deeply indented by Bobbies Bay and separated from northern landmasses by the Sturgeon Channel. This survey illustrates the intricate archipelago character of the region, featuring numerous smaller islands such as Marian Island, Blackbird Island, and Flag Island.

Navigation and shoreline landmarks are precisely identified, from the sheltered Butterfield Harbor to prominent coastal projections like Soldiers Point and Flag Island Point. Further south, the map tracks isolated landforms like Techout Island and O'Dell Island across the expanse of the lake. The placement of the border line relative to Dawson Island highlights the unique geopolitical positioning of this Minnesota territory, accessible primarily by water.
