About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the northern reach of this quadrangle, where a complex network of glacial water bodies like Shannon Lake and Shoepack Lake dominate the terrain. The northern Iron Range landscape transition is evident here, moving from the forested lake country of the north toward the industrial infrastructure near Chisholm in the southeast. A primary hydrological feature is the Shannon River, which winds south from Island Lake.

Significant industrial land use is represented by the Hibbing Taconite Tailings Basin in the southwest, reflecting the region's deep ties to taconite mining. Human settlement and local history are anchored by the northwestern streets of Chisholm and the nearby Calvary Cem, while a grid of local roads like Page Road and Dewey Lake Rd provides access to seasonal residences and recreation around Dewey Lake.
