2019 Map of Dewey Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest dominates the landscape of this 2019 survey, characterized by the dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands typical of northern Minnesota. The industrial footprint of the Iron Range is vividly captured in the southwestern corner, where the Hibbing Taconite Tailings Basin occupies a significant portion of the terrain, reflecting the area's enduring mining heritage. The map details the transition from the wilder forested areas to the settled corridors of Hibbing and Chisholm. Water bodies like Dewey Lake, Island Lake, and the winding Shannon River provide geographic structure to a region defined by its timber and mineral wealth. Local researchers can identify numerous rural roads, such as Hyvarinen Rd and Krogerus Rd, alongside significant landmarks like Calvary Cem, documenting the modern layout of Saint Louis County.
