The '''Northwest Angle''', known simply as '''the Angle''' by locals, and coterminous with '''Angle Township''', is a part of northern [[Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota|Lake of the Woods County]], [[Minnesota]] that is the only part of the [[United States]] outside [[Alaska]] that is north of the [[49th parallel north|49th parallel]]. That parallel is the northern boundary of the [[Continental United States|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. Farther east, U.S. territory does not extend that far north. [[Map projection]]s 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|Point Roberts]], [[Washington]]; [[Alburgh (town), Vermont|Alburgh]], [[Vermont]]; and [[Elm Point, Minnesota|Elm Point]], [[Minnesota]] (also at Lake of the Woods), the Northwest Angle cannot be reached from the rest of the United States without either going through [[Canada]], flying in via small aircraft, or crossing water—specifically, the [[Lake of the Woods]]. |

The [[Treaty of Paris (1783)|Treaty of Paris]], concluded between the United States and [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] at the end of the [[American Revolutionary War]], stated that the boundary between U.S. territory and the British possessions to the north would run "…through the Lake of the Woods to the most northwesternmost point thereof, and from thence on a due west course to the [[Mississippi River|river Mississippi]]…" The parties did not suspect that the source of the Mississippi, [[Lake Itasca]] (then unknown to European explorers), was south of that point, and that thus the entire Mississippi was too far south to be intersected by a line running west from the Lake of the Woods. A factor in this mistake was the use of the [[Mitchell Map]] during the treaty negotiations; that map showed the Mississippi extending far to the north. In the [[Anglo-American Convention of 1818]], the error was corrected by having the boundary run due south from the northwest point of the lake to the [[49th parallel north|49th parallel]] and then westward along it. When a survey team led by [[David Thompson (explorer)|David Thompson]] finally located the northwesternmost point of the lake and surveyed this north-south line, it was found to intersect other bays of the lake and therefore cut off a portion of U.S. territory, now known as the Northwest Angle. |

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], Angle Township has a total area of 596.3 square miles (1,544.5 km²) of which 123.09 square miles (318.81 km²) is land and 473.2 square miles (1,225.7 km²) (79.36%) is water. The land includes several islands, including [[Oak Island (Minnesota)|Oak Island]], and two small capes that are below (south of) the [[49th parallel north]] in the extreme southwest part of the township, south of the southeast corner of [[Manitoba]], and not far from the northeast corner of [[Roseau County, Minnesota|Roseau County]]. Of the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]] population of 152, there were 118 living on the mainland, and 34 persons on the islands in [[Lake of the Woods]]. All of the populated islands are north of the 49th parallel. The mainland portion of the township north of the 49th parallel has an area of 302.075 km² (116.632 sq mi). The total land area of all islands is 16.325 km² (6.303 sq mi), and the two capes total 0.408 km² (0.157 sq mi). The township has the last [[one-room school|one-room public school]] in the state.

Due to laws restricting fishing, some residents of the part of [[Minnesota]] accessable only by way of [[Manitoba]], suggested leaving the United States and joining Canada in [[1997]]. The following year, [[US Congress|Representative]] [[Collin Peterson]] proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow the residents of the Northwest Angle, which is part of his district, to vote on seceding from the United States and joining Canada, angering the leaders of [[Red Lake Indian Reservation]], which holds most of the Northwest Angles' land.<ref>http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/199808/17_radila_angle-m/</ref><ref>http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/2006/campaign/congress/peterson/</ref> The area is one of several distinct [[regions of Minnesota]]. |

In November 1995 Coughlin, then the Sunday Telegraph's senior correspondent, published an article alleging that [[Saif al-Islam al-Qaddafi|Saif Qaddafi]] was involved in a massive criminal operation involving [[counterfeit]] notes and money laundering in Europe based on information received by imaginary British intelligence and banking officials.<ref>{{cite news | first=Mark | last=Hollingsworth | coauthors= | title=The hidden hand | date= | publisher= | url =http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,178092,00.html | work =The Guardian | pages = | accessdate = 2007-06-17 | language = }}</ref> |

There was a reaction to this article in this British press{{Fact|04/27/2008|date=April 2008}}, followed by a British court case in 2002, which turned out to be a great scandal for the [[Telegraph Group]].<ref name="GvC" /> Allegations on the true origins of that article were first disclosed by Mark Hollingsworth, the biographer of the notorious [[MI5]] [[whistleblower]] [[David Shayler]]. Shayler working on MI5's Libya desk at the time, in liaison with his counterparts in the foreign espionage service ([[MI6]]), had come away with a detailed knowledge of events, including secret documents. Coughlin had falsely attributed the source to a "British banking official", however it had been [[MI6]] officials, who had been supplying Coughlin with material for years.<ref name='Tinker'>{{cite news | first=David | last=Leigh | coauthors= | title=Tinker, tailor, soldier, journalist | date=2000-06-12 | publisher= | url =http://www.guardian.co.uk/shayler/article/0,2763,339990,00.html | work =The Guardian | pages = | accessdate = 2007-06-17 | language = }}</ref> |

As of the [[census]]{{GR|2}} of 2000, there were 152 people, 71 households, and 48 families residing in the township. The census records all 152 as [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], one also being [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]]. The [[population density]] was 1.2 people per square mile (0.5/km²). There were 272 housing units at an average density of 2.2/sq mi (0.9/km²). |
|||
Of the 71 households, 10 have children under the age of 18 living with them, 45 are [[Marriage|married couples]] living together, one has a female householder with no husband present, and 22 are non-families. Seventeen households are made up of individuals and 4 have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.14 and the average family size was 2.53. |
|||
The allegations against Coughlin were confirmed when the Sunday Telegraph was served with a [[libel]] writ by [[Saif al-Islam al-Qaddafi|Saif Qaddafi]]. The paper was unable to back up its allegations but pleaded, that it had been supplied with the material by a government security agency. In October 28 1998 a statement made by the paper described how, under [[Charles Moore (journalist)|Charles Moore's]] editorship, a lunch had been arranged with the then [[Conservative]] [[Foreign Secretary]], [[Malcolm Rifkind]], at which Coughlin had been present. Told by Rifkind that countries such as [[Iran]] were trying to get hold of hard currency to beat [[sanctions]], Coughlin was later briefed by an MI6 man - his regular contact. Some weeks later, he was introduced to a second MI6 man, who spent several hours with him and handed over extensive details of the story about [[Saif al-Islam al-Qaddafi|Saif Qaddafi]]. Although Coughlin asked for evidence, and was shown purported bank statements, the pleadings make clear that he was dependent on MI6 for the discreditable details about the alleged counterfeiting scam.{{Fact|04/27/2008|date=April 2008}} |
|||
In Angle Township, 22 people are under the age of 18 (11 girls and 11 boys), 5 are between 18 and 24, 32 from 25 to 44, 74 from 45 to 64, and 19 are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 50 years. There are 58 adult women and 72 adult men. |
|||
Throughout the formal pleadings, the Telegraph preserved the full identity of its sources by referring to a "Western government security agency". But this was exposed by solicitor David Hooper in his book on libel ''Reputations Under Fire'', in which he says: "In reality [they were] members of MI6". In 2002 [[Geoffrey Robertson]] QC made a statement on behalf of the [[Telegraph Group]] stating "there was no truth in the allegation that [[Saif al-Islam al-Qaddafi|Saif Qaddafi]] participated in any currency sting".<ref name='BBC'>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Paper apologises to Gaddafi's son | date= | publisher= | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1937740.stm | work =BBC | pages = | accessdate = 2007-06-17 | language = }}</ref> |

The median income for a household in the township was $28,500, and the median income for a family was $31,250. Males had a median income of $28,500 versus $21,250 for females. The [[per capita income]] for the township was $13,932. About 13.3% of families and 12.3% of the population were below the [[poverty line]]. No one under 18 or over 65 lives in poverty. |

Revision as of 03:48, 10 October 2008
The Northwest Angle, known simply as the Angle by locals, and coterminous with Angle Township, is a part of northern Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota that is the only part of the United States outside 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. Farther 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; Alburgh, Vermont; and Elm Point, Minnesota (also at Lake of the Woods), the Northwest Angle cannot be reached from the rest of the United States without either going through Canada, flying in via small aircraft, or crossing water—specifically, the Lake of the Woods. A sizeable portion of the Angle is held in trust by the Red Lake Indian Reservation (Ojibwa). The total population of the Angle was 152 at the 2000 census.
Origin
The Treaty of Paris, concluded between the United States and Great Britain at the end of the American Revolutionary War, stated that the boundary between U.S. territory and the British possessions to the north would run "…through the Lake of the Woods to the most northwesternmost point thereof, and from thence on a due west course to the river Mississippi…" The parties did not suspect that the source of the Mississippi, Lake Itasca (then unknown to European explorers), was south of that point, and that thus the entire Mississippi was too far south to be intersected by a line running west from the Lake of the Woods. A factor in this mistake was the use of the Mitchell Map during the treaty negotiations; that map showed the Mississippi extending far to the north. In the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, the error was corrected by having the boundary run due south from the northwest point of the lake to the 49th parallel and then westward along it. When a survey team led by David Thompson finally located the northwesternmost point of the lake and surveyed this north-south line, it was found to intersect other bays of the lake and therefore cut off a portion of U.S. territory, now known as the Northwest Angle.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, Angle Township has a total area of 596.3 square miles (1,544.5 km²) of which 123.09 square miles (318.81 km²) is land and 473.2 square miles (1,225.7 km²) (79.36%) is water. The land includes several islands, including Oak Island, and two small capes that are below (south of) the 49th parallel north in the extreme southwest part of the township, south of the southeast corner of Manitoba, and not far from the northeast corner of Roseau County. Of the 2000 census population of 152, there were 118 living on the mainland, and 34 persons on the islands in Lake of the Woods. All of the populated islands are north of the 49th parallel. The mainland portion of the township north of the 49th parallel has an area of 302.075 km² (116.632 sq mi). The total land area of all islands is 16.325 km² (6.303 sq mi), and the two capes total 0.408 km² (0.157 sq mi). The township has the last one-room public school in the state. The border crossing (image) is unstaffed. Travelers using the single gravel road into the Angle are expected to use a telephone at Jim's Corner to contact Canadian or U.S. Customs and make their declarations.
Elm Point and Buffalo Point
Elm Point, in Lake of the Woods County, is a small cape southwest of the Northwest Angle. It borders Canada and may be separated by land from the continental United States. Buffalo Point, much smaller than Elm Point and to its east, might also be considered a U.S. territory not connected by land to the rest of the United States.
Politics and popular culture
Due to laws restricting fishing, some residents of the part of Minnesota accessable only by way of Manitoba, suggested leaving the United States and joining Canada in 1997. The following year, Representative Collin Peterson proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow the residents of the Northwest Angle, which is part of his district, to vote on seceding from the United States and joining Canada, angering the leaders of Red Lake Indian Reservation, which holds most of the Northwest Angles' land.[1][2] The area is one of several distinct regions of Minnesota.
Author Tim O'Brien popularized knowledge of the location with his bestselling novel, In the Lake of the Woods, set in the Angle.
The Danny Orlis series of books, a Christian fiction series for youth, were largely set in the Northwest Angle.
Demographics
As of the censusTemplate:GR of 2000, there were 152 people, 71 households, and 48 families residing in the township. The census records all 152 as White, one also being Hispanic. The population density was 1.2 people per square mile (0.5/km²). There were 272 housing units at an average density of 2.2/sq mi (0.9/km²).
Of the 71 households, 10 have children under the age of 18 living with them, 45 are married couples living together, one has a female householder with no husband present, and 22 are non-families. Seventeen households are made up of individuals and 4 have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.14 and the average family size was 2.53.
In Angle Township, 22 people are under the age of 18 (11 girls and 11 boys), 5 are between 18 and 24, 32 from 25 to 44, 74 from 45 to 64, and 19 are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 50 years. There are 58 adult women and 72 adult men.
The median income for a household in the township was $28,500, and the median income for a family was $31,250. Males had a median income of $28,500 versus $21,250 for females. The per capita income for the township was $13,932. About 13.3% of families and 12.3% of the population were below the poverty line. No one under 18 or over 65 lives in poverty.
