2019 Map of Soldier Point

About this map

Voyageurs National Park encompasses the majority of this borderland terrain, where the international boundary between the United States of America and Canada threads through the waters of Rainy Lake. The landscape is a complex network of island-dotted bays and interior freshwater basins, connected by narrow channels like Brule Narrows. The intricate shoreline is punctuated by prominent landforms such as Soldier Point and Gaylord Point, which guard the entrance to the sprawling Saginaw Bay. South of the main lake, a series of more isolated water bodies including Locator Lake, Quill Lake, and Shoepack Lake sit among the dense interior forests. This map illustrates the vital importance of water navigation in the region, where named features like Marion Bay and Lost Bay suggest the intricate geography known well by those who frequent these northern waters.
