2016 Map of Bovey

About this map

The Mesabi Range iron mining landscape is clearly visible in this 2016 survey of the Bovey and Coleraine area. The terrain is defined by its industrial legacy, featuring large-scale water management and mining infrastructure such as the Arcturus Tailings Basin, the Arcturus Water Supply Basin, and the Hunner Tailings Basin. These industrial features sit alongside natural water bodies like Trout Lake, Shamrock Lake, and the winding Prairie River in the north. The residential layout of Coleraine is detailed with street names like Roosevelt St and Mitchell St, while Lakeview Cem stands near the shore of Canisteo. This modern map documents how the historical extraction industry has permanently reshaped the Minnesota topography, contrasting dense town grids with expansive engineered basins and tailing ponds that now dominate the local geography.
