1951 Map of Babbitt SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this northern landscape, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and industrial infrastructure of St. Louis County during the mid-20th century. The Erie Mining Company Railroad cuts across the northern terrain, signaling the importance of the Mesabi Range's mineral extraction and transport economy. Water is the defining feature here, with the Partridge River winding through the center of the sheet, supported by a network of smaller tributaries like Cranberry Cr and Colvin Cr. In the southeast corner, Stone Lake sits near the boundary of Bassett Township. This map captures a specific moment in the evolution of Minnesota's Iron Range, showing the land just before and during the implementation of new mining transportation routes.
