2011 Map of The Cascades

About this map

The Pigeon River serves as the central geographic and political boundary on this map, marking the border where Canada and the United States meet. This international boundary follows the winding course of the river, which dominates the southern portion of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the historic transport corridors that parallel the water, including the Grand Portage Trl. This trail has long been a vital connection between Lake Superior and the interior waterways, bypassing the river's numerous falls and rapids. Modern access is represented by Cowboys Rd, which skirts the lower right edge of the survey area. Most of the quadrangle north of the river consists of undeveloped terrain within the Thunder Bay District of Ontario, reflecting a quiet borderland character maintained into the early twenty-first century.
