1952 Map of Bovey
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Canisteo Mine and the Walker Mine dominate the central landscape of this Mesabi Range survey, illustrating the massive scale of iron ore extraction in the mid-20th century. The industrial footprint of Coleraine and Bovey is defined by extensive infrastructure including a network of Tailings Ponds, a vast Mine Dump system, and the heavy rail corridors of the Burlington Northern. These operations transformed the natural drainage, creating features like Dirty Mike Lake and several man-made basins alongside the established waters of Trout Lake and the Prairie River.
