About this map

Hill Annex Mine State Park dominates the landscape of this northern Minnesota survey, illustrating the deep history of iron mining in the Mesabi Range. The map details a complex network of active and former extraction sites, including the Arcturus Mine, Hill Trumbull Mine, and Majorca Mine. This industrial legacy is intertwined with the residential layout of Calumet and Marble, where central landmarks like the Calumet Post Office and Marble Post Office anchor the local communities.

South of the mining operations, the terrain shifts toward the winding Swan River and numerous lakes such as Loon Lake and Bass Lake. The presence of the Trout Lake Tailings Basin serves as a visible reminder of the area's massive mineral processing requirements. Researchers can trace the proximity of small settlements like Holman and Silverwood to the sprawling open pits that define the regional economy and geography.
