1967 Map of Wheelers Point

About this map

The Rainy River flows north along the international boundary in this 1960s study, reaching its mouth at the southern shores of Lake of the Woods. The settlement of Wheelers Point serves as a critical junction for water travel, marked by a Boat Ramp and light beacons directing traffic into Fourmile Bay. To the west, the landscape is defined by the Judicial Ditch No 28, part of a drainage network cutting through the low-lying terrain. Local civic life is evidenced by the Wheeler Sch, the Wabanica Tale Ch, and the Lake of the Woods Bible Camp near the riverbank. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the Winter Road suggests a landscape tied to seasonal industry and transport, while Pine Island and Currys Island provide natural shelter along the expansive lakefront.
