2013 Map of Skull Lake NE OE N

About this map

Kittson Co, Minnesota, occupies the lower portion of this 2013 survey, which documents a section of the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The line for Canada / United States of America cuts diagonally across the landscape, marking a precise administrative divide in a region characterized by a meandering river system. This map is particularly sparse in terms of developed infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural hydrography and the geopolitical boundary that separates the northernmost reaches of the state from Manitoba. The absence of traditional landmarks such as roads, buildings, or named towns emphasizes the remote nature of this borderlands area, where the primary features are the shifting curves of the waterway and the surveyed international line.
