Historic Fort St. Charles was restored in 1950. Pierre Gaultier De Verennes, Sieur De La Verendrye, an enterprising Canadian explorer and fur trader, lured into the wilderness by Indian tales of a great "Western Sea", established Fort St. Charles in the summer of 1732.

Shows the Northwest Angle in relation to Warroad. Good demarcation of county lines and national border. Also shows land held by Red Lake Reservation. The lines at a right angle on the northwest mark the border with Manitoba. Unfortunately, this map doesn't show islands or land on the Canadian side.

Too wide for most monitors. Shows the Northwest Angle, Oak Island, Flag Island, part of Lake of the Woods, and both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. Also shows Northwest Angle State Forest.
