1952 Map of Bovey
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The industrial heart of the Mesabi Range is captured in this early 1950s survey, dominated by a massive network of open-pit extraction sites and heavy rail infrastructure. The interconnected settlements of Coleraine, Bovey, and Taconite are shown at their mid-century peak, bordered by sprawling operations like the Canisteo Mine and Morrison Mine. A defining characteristic of the landscape is the sheer volume of material movement, evidenced by numerous Tailings Ponds and vast Mine Dumps that reshape the natural topography between the Prairie River and the deep waters of Trout Lake.
