The international boundary between Minnesota and Canada cuts directly through the aquatic landscape of Voyageurs National Park in this 2016 survey. This borderland is defined by a complex network of interconnected waterways, where Namakan Lake and Sand Point Lake meet at the narrow passages of the Namakan Narrows. The terrain is characterized by intricate shorelines and isolated landmasses such as Burnt Island, reflecting the preservation of a wild water-based ecosystem. Significant inlets like Swansons Bay and Grassy Bay illustrate the rugged geography of St. Louis County, providing a clear look at the navigational challenges and natural boundaries that have shaped the transit history of the Rainy River District for generations.
