2013 Map of Soldier Point

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates the northern expanse of this international borderlands map, where the boundary between the United States and Canada weaves through a complex archipelago. Named features like Soldier Point and Gaylord Point define the southern shoreline of the lake, while a series of interior water bodies including Locator Lake, Quill Lake, and Loiten Lake are tucked into the rising elevations of the backcountry. This rugged terrain in St. Louis Co, Minnesota, is characterized by its lack of road infrastructure, instead defined by its natural hydrology and a network of named islands such as Duckfoot Island and Finlander Island. The topography transitions from the vast lake surface to significant ridges drained by Sucker Cr and Clyde Cr, illustrating the primitive wilderness of the Superior National Forest region as it remained in the early 21st century.
