1955 Map of Dewey Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Laurentian Divide marks the geological spine of this Iron Range landscape, where the geography of industrial extraction meets the dense woods of the Superior National Forest. This 1955 survey, with 1969 revisions, documents a critical corridor of Minnesota’s mining history. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the complex operations of the Mesabi Range, featuring the Wabigon Mine, Margaret Mine, and Grant Mine, along with numerous Mine Dumps and a Tailings Pond. These industrial sites sit in close proximity to the residential hubs of Buhl and Kinney, illustrating the tight spatial relationship between the mining workforce and the pits they worked. North of the divide, the terrain transitions into a more hydrologically complex wilderness defined by the East Branch Sturgeon River and scattered water bodies like Deepwater Lake and McNiven Lake.
