2019 Map of Ranier OE N

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this northern frontier landscape, where the waters of the Minnesota-Ontario border weave through a complex network of inlets and peninsulas. Located north of Ranier, this 2019 survey documents the intricate shoreline and numerous unnamed island clusters that characterize this part of Koochiching County. The southern portion of the map is punctuated by Fransen Island, situated just above the international boundary line. The survey clearly delineates the border between Canada and the United States of America, illustrating how the political line bisects the open water and island chains of this northern waterway. This map provides a clear look at the modern topography of the lake before any further shifts in shoreline or development, anchored by the township coordinates of t71n r23w.
