About this map

Armour Number Two Mine stands as a prominent reminder of the region's industrial foundations, located between the growing communities of Crosby and Ironton. This survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by mining and water, where the massive waters of Serpent Lake and Clearwater Lake dominate the geography alongside smaller settlements like Cuyuna and Deerwood. The map captures a complex network of haul roads and access routes, including Cruft Mine Rd and New Haul Road, which underscore the ongoing commercial activity in this portion of Crow Wing County.

Local history researchers will find valuable markers in the three distinct cemeteries—Irondale Cem, Lakewood Cem, and Deerwood Cem—spread across the townships. The terrain transitions from the developed grids of the iron range towns to more remote pockets like Klondyke and the riparian corridors along the Nokasippi River. Notable landmarks such as Man-High Hill and Lindey's Landing provide specific touchpoints for those tracing family roots or geographic changes in the late 2010s.
