About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this Iron Range landscape, where the Pike River and Sandy River wind through a complex system of wetlands and lakes. The area is defined by its significant water bodies, including Vermilion Lake in the north and the expansive Big Rice Lake to the west. This 1950s-era survey by the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission illustrates a rural settlement pattern focused around the Florenton P O and School No 14. Local community life is anchored by small landmarks such as Sandy Ch and Pike Ch, alongside their respective burial grounds, Sandy Cem and West Pike Cem. The map reveals the early industrial footprint of the region with scattered labels like Gravel Pit, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting this northern Minnesota territory during the mid-century.
