About this map

Wheelers Point serves as a prominent gateway where the Rainy River flows into the southern reaches of Lake of the Woods. This 2013 survey details the international border between Minnesota and Ontario, following the center of the river channel. The landscape is defined by its water-based geography, featuring the winding Wabanica Creek and Hooper Cr, alongside significant shoreline development like the Lake of the Woods Campground and Lake of the Woods Bible Camp.

Further inland, the rural character of Lake of the Woods County is evident near Hackett, where a network of local roads such as Co HWY-8 and MN-172 provides access to the shoreline. The mapping of Judicial Ditch Number Twentyeight highlights the region's managed hydrology, designed to drain the low-lying terrain north of the river for local use. This map is a clear record of the intersection between recreational lakeside life and the strictly defined international boundary.
