About this map

The industrial and maritime core of Duluth dominates this landscape, where the city meets the expansive waters of Lake Superior. The map illustrates the complex infrastructure of the port, including the Duluth Harbor Basin Northern Section and the landmark Aerial Lift Bridge. Along the shoreline, specialized features like the Minnesota Slip Drawbridge and Lake Place Tunnel facilitate movement between the urban center and the waterfront. The residential and institutional character of the city is evident in the inclusion of The College of Saint Scholastica and the Univ of Minnesota Duluth.

A high concentration of cemeteries, such as Adas Israel Cem, Tifereth Israel Cem, and Forest Hill Cem, reflects the long-standing community history and genealogical depth of the area. Notable terrain features like Point of Rocks and Observation Hill overlook the harbor, while Minnesota Point and Rices Point define the southern entrance to the bay. The map also traces the winding courses of Amity Cr and Lester River as they descend toward the lake through neighborhoods like Lester Park.
