2019 Map of Bovey

About this map

Bovey and Coleraine serve as the primary hubs in this Itasca County landscape, where the iron mining legacy of the Mesabi Range is etched into the topography. The terrain is a complex of natural water bodies and industrial modifications, evidenced by the large Trout Lake Tailings Basin and the adjacent Trout Lake. To the north, a dense network of smaller lakes including Shamrock Lake, Reiley Lake, and Moonshine Lake punctuates the glacial landscape, while the Prairie River winds through the western portion of the quadrangle toward Grand Rapids. This 2019 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between the residential streets of Taconite and the nearby Canisteo area. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Lakeview Cem particularly useful, situated on a rise overlooking the industrial and natural waters that have shaped the region's economy and settlement patterns for over a century.
