I am trying to relocate a map of Lake of the Woods, , specifically of the
northwesternmost angle that the US Canada border reaches, before heading
south to the 49th paralllel and then along that to Vancouver.
The map I am after featured in a journal or book that I read 5 years ago or
so. It showed a change in the determination of the Northwesternmost Angle,
such that when the border turned due south, it would no longer have to
cross over itself, as it had done. By this change in demarcation the US
lost a couple of acres of lake surface. The map showed the original
boundary line snaking up the NW angle (a wide inlet), then turning due
south and intersecting itself several times. It also showed the newer
boundary demarcation that fixed this anomaly. The map was a sketch map,
black and white, in what I think was a general work on boundaries or
demarcation. But I may be wrong.
Can anyone point me to this map, or the article/book it came from?(or
anything similar?)
Thank you
