1968 Map of Soldier Point

About this map

Voyageurs National Park defines this aquatic landscape on the international border between Ontario and Minnesota. The topography is a dense network of interconnected water bodies and glacial islands, where the Canada-United States boundary threads through the Narrows and past Brule Island. To the south, a chain of smaller interior lakes including Locator Lake, War Club Lake, and Quill Lake are linked by portage trails, reflecting the traditional travel routes of the north woods. The map highlights the intricate shoreline of Soldier Point Lake and Saginaw Bay, where numerous named points and islands like Kawawia Island and Finlander Island provide specific landmarks for navigation. This 1968 survey, with revisions from 1981, documents the shoreline and wilderness character of the Rainy River District before modern development altered these boundary waters.
