1994 Map of Ely
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Ely serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the iron mining legacy of the Mesabi and Vermilion ranges meets the expansive protected wilds of the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a complex transition from industrial activity, such as the Mine works south of Babbitt, to the protected reaches of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This geography is defined by its water, with Shagawa Lake, White Iron Lake, and Birch Lake forming a dense network of interconnected routes through the Superior National Forest.
