About this map

Wheelers Point stands at the strategic meeting of the Rainy River and Lake of the Woods, marking a significant point on the international border between the United States and Canada. This landscape is defined by the transition from riverine systems to the expansive waters of Fourmile Bay, protected to the north by the slender reach of Pine Island. The settlement pattern follows the water's edge, with Hackett situated just inland from the river's western bank.

The area's drainage is characterized by smaller tributaries like Wabanica Creek and the Winter Road River, which feed into the larger Rainy River system. A network of county and state aid roads, including Co ST Aid HWY 32 and Co ST Aid HWY 31, connects the dispersed residential clusters and agricultural plots. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the Lake of the Woods County border as it threads through the wetlands and channels at the river's mouth.
