Hibbing and Chisholm anchor this 2010 topographic record of Minnesota’s Iron Range, a landscape profoundly shaped by over a century of open-pit mining. The geography is defined by an massive industrial corridor of mines extending through Mahoning, Kitzville, and Brooklyn. Notable sites including the Mahoning-Hull-Rust Mine and the Hull Rust Mine View highlight the scale of extraction that once dominated the local economy. Between these deep excavations, the remnants of older community layouts are visible at Kerr Location and Scranton.
