2010 Map of Roosevelt NW

About this map

Lake of the Woods dominates this northern frontier landscape, where the international boundary between Canada and the United States cuts across the water. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey focuses on the aquatic expanse of the Northwest Angle region in Roseau County. The shoreline is characterized by the marshy outlet of Willow Creek, which enters the lake at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Given the proximity to the border and the vast water coverage, the map provides a specific look at the hydrography and shoreline conditions of the era. The limited terrestrial features highlight the significance of the lake as a primary geographical and navigational corridor in this borderland territory.
