1951 Map of Biwabik NE

About this map

Vermilion Lake and the winding Pike River dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, where Finnish and Scandinavian settlement patterns are etched into the terrain of the Iron Range. The map reveals a rural society structured around small nodes like Wahlsten and Salo Corner, supported by community institutions such as School No 40 and Pike River Ch. This area, managed in part by the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission, shows the intersection of industry and forest conservation. The presence of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad underscores the region's importance to the state's mining economy, even as large swaths remain protected within the Superior National Forest. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several burial grounds, including the Vermilion Lake Cem, the Old Vermilion Lake Cem, and the Embarrass Cem, which mark the early generations of local families.
