USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Industrial iron mining and urban growth define this mid-century portrait of the Mesabi Range, where the Laurentian Divide separates the watershed. The massive earthworks of the Leonidas Mine, Adams Pit, and Spruce Mine dominate the landscape between Virginia and Eveleth, showing a region transformed by heavy excavation. The intricate network of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad snakes through the terrain to service these pits, connecting smaller settlements like Leonidas and Ramshaw.
