The Northwest Angle, known simply as the Angle by locals, and coterminous with Angle Township, is a small part of northern Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota that is the only part of the United States outside of Alaska that is north of the 49th parallel. That parallel is the northern boundary of the 48 contiguous states extending eastward from the west coast along the northern boundaries of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and part of Minnesota to the Northwest Angle. Further east, U.S. territory does not extend that far north. Map projections sometimes create an optical illusion that Maine extends farther north than that; that illusion does not occur in maps in which parallels of latitude are straight lines. Like Alaska, Point Roberts, Washington and Alburgh, Vermont, the Northwest Angle cannot be reached from the rest of the U.S. without either going through Canada or crossing water ”specifically, the Lake of the Woods. The population was 152 at the 2000 census. Featured Homes in Angle Inlet, MN
