2019 Map of Ranier

About this map

Ranier sits at the critical junction where the Rainy River flows out of Rainy Lake, marking a prominent point on the international border. This northern Minnesota landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, featuring Ogard Point, Birch Point, and numerous islands such as Enos Island and Roberts Island. The transition from the developed outskirts of International Falls to the sprawling wetlands of the south is evident, where the Rat Root River winds its way toward Rat Root Lake. Transportation corridors like Co Hwy 20 and the rail infrastructure at Falls Junction support the local economy, connecting smaller settlements like Jameson to the regional hub. The map captures the intricate balance between the industrial and residential centers of the north and the expansive, water-dominated wilderness that stretches across the southern townships.
