2011 Map of Wheelers Point OE N

About this map

The vast waters of Lake of Woods dominate this northern border region, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts a straight line through the aquatic landscape. The map focuses on a transitional shoreline zone near the mouth of the Rainy River, highlighted by the presence of Currys Island and the landform known as Oak Point. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the precise interface of land and water in a region defined by its maritime geography rather than terrestrial infrastructure. The sparse labeling reflects the remote character of the area, emphasizing the natural topography of the shoreline and the navigational importance of named islands and points in this sprawling freshwater system.
