Dear Brendan, There was a book, published in the early 1960s, by John W. Parsons called, i think, West Along the 49th parallel, or some such, about the demarcation of the US-Canadian frontier. It devoted considerable attention to the Lake of the Woods. regards John Roberts westIn message <[log in to unmask]>, Brendan Whyte <[log in to unmask]> writes >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.

By this change in demarcation the US >lost a couple of acres of lake surface.

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.
