2011 Map of Soldier Point

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this northern border landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada weaves through a complex archipelago. This 2011 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water and rock, featuring numerous named landforms such as Soldier Point, Gaylord Point, and Hitchcock Island. The interior terrain south of the main lake body reveals a network of smaller, secluded basins including War Club Lake, Quill Lake, and Loiten Lake, connected by minor waterways like Sucker Creek and Clyde Creek. This area of the Rainy River District is characterized by its labyrinthine shoreline and the absence of established road infrastructure, highlighting a region where travel remains primarily waterborne. Notable landmarks like Three Sisters Islands and Finlander Island serve as essential navigational points within the expansive reach of the border waters.
