About this map

Industrial excavations and numerous iron mines define the landscape around Buhl and Grant in this 2010 study of the Mesabi Range. The northern half of the quadrangle is heavily marked by mining infrastructure, including the Sherman Group Tailings Basin, Elbern Mine, and the Dunwoody Mine. These massive earth-moving operations sit in stark contrast to the scattered residential clusters at Wilpen and Scott, and the transportation hubs of Saint Clair Junction and Dunwoody Junction.

Beyond the open pits, the geography transitions to a network of lakes and marshes, such as Threemile Lake and Carey Lake. Aviation and community services are represented by the Chisholm-Hibbing Airport and Lake View Cemetery. The detailed road network, from Memorial Dr to rural routes like Bovitz Rd, illustrates the connectivity between the active mining pits and the surrounding residential areas in Saint Louis County.
