About this map

Morris Point and the southern shoreline of Lake of Woods anchor this northern Minnesota landscape near the turn of the 21st century. The map depicts a region defined by its relationship with the water, where the vast lake recedes into Zippel Bay and several drainage systems like Bostick Creek, Wabanica Creek, and Canfield Creek snake across the low-lying terrain. The transition from the water's edge to the interior is marked by a cluster of seasonal sites, including Lady's-slipper Campground, Birch Campground, Ridge Campground, and Angler's Campground, suggesting a local economy and culture heavily centered on lake-access recreation. A grid of county highways and rural avenues, such as County Hwy-4 and County Hwy-8, provides the primary structure for the scattered settlements and agricultural plots that fill the spaces between the wetlands and the shore.
