2019 Map of Britt

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, where the iron-rich geology of the Mesabi Range meets the water-heavy terrain of Saint Louis County. The small community of Britt sits at a junction of regional roads, while the northern extent of Mountain Iron enters the frame from the south. The map documents a complex network of forestry and industrial roads, notably the extensive system of spurs including Big Aspen Spur and the Taconite road, which highlight the region's historical and ongoing ties to timber and mining extraction.
