1951 Map of Babbitt SW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Partridge River winds across this northern Minnesota landscape, flowing through the vast timberlands of the Superior National Forest. This 1951 field-checked survey captures a significant moment in the region's industrial development, specifically highlighting the Reserve Mining Company Railroad Under Construction as it cuts through the township of Bassett. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where industrial infrastructure began to parallel natural water systems like Colvin Creek and Cranberry Cr. Further south, the remote Stone Lake sits near the township line, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and topography in Argo before the full expansion of the mid-century taconite industry.
