USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The iron mining town of Ely serves as the focal point of this 1930s survey, illustrating the industrial footprint of the Vermilion Range. Major operations like the Pioneer Mine and Zenith Mine are situated directly adjacent to the settlement, connected to the wider world via the Duluth Missabe and Northern Ry. Beyond the industrial core, the map captures a landscape transitioning toward recreation and conservation within the Superior National Forest.
