About this map

Voyageurs National Park and the international waters of the United States-Canada border define this northern Minnesota landscape. This survey documents the complex waterway system where the Namakan River flows through Lady Rapids and the Namakan Narrows. The boundary between St. Louis County and the Rainy River District of Ontario runs through the center of Namakan Lake, highlighting the shared geography of the region.

Remote Campsites are scattered along the shorelines of Redhorse Bay and Swansons Bay, accessed by various Portage routes. Landmarks like Sand Point and Burnt Island provide navigational reference for the network of interconnected lakes, including David Lake and Grassy Bay. This map captures the lake country's character before modern developments altered the primitive access points used by backcountry travelers and park visitors.
