1949 Map of Allen

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Mesaba Range and the industrial infrastructure of Minnesota's Iron Range define this 1940s landscape. The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad winds through the terrain, connecting small settlements like Allen and Wyman with the resource-rich hills. This era reflects the peak of the iron mining economy, evidenced by features such as Spring Mine Lake and several specialized outposts including Niemi Camp and MacDonald Camp. The Partridge River meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by Colvin Creek and Cranberry Creek near Cranberry Lake. Large portions of the map are designated within the Superior National Forest, where the topography shifts from the elevation of Moose Mountain to the low-lying wetlands surrounding Mud Lake.
