About this map

The iron mining operations of the Vermilion Range dominate this northern Minnesota landscape during the early 1930s. The town of Ely serves as the industrial hub, closely flanked by the Pioneer Mines and Zenith and Sibley Mines, which were critical to the regional economy. This industrial presence is contrasted by the dense recreational and conservation footprint within the Superior National Forest, featuring numerous seasonal outposts like Burnside Lodge, YMCA Camp, and the Halfway CCC Camp.
