About this map

Superior National Forest dominates the landscape of this 2016 survey, where the wetland-rich terrain of Saint Louis County is defined by the winding course of the Partridge River. The map captures the quiet transition between the residential areas of Babbitt and Hoyt Lakes and the surrounding wilderness of the Iron Range. Local industry is signaled by the presence of the Dunka Mine Road in the north and several smaller water bodies like Spring Mine Lake, suggesting the area's deep ties to mining and forestry.

Settlement patterns follow the roads through the dense forests and expansive wetlands, such as the aptly named One Hundred Mile Swamp. Small communities like Wyman and Allen are documented alongside natural landmarks such as Moose Mtn. The detailed hydrography, including Cranberry Cr and Lostnose Cr, highlights the complex drainage system of the Mesabi Range area during this contemporary era of environmental management and resource extraction.
