About this map

The Laurentian Divide cuts through this portion of the Mesabi Range, a geographical marker that separates the watersheds of the northern continent. The landscape is profoundly shaped by the region's industrial heritage, dominated by massive reclamation and water management features such as the Hibbing Taconite Tailings Basin and the Whitney Clearwater Basin. These industrial footprints wrap around long-established residential and commercial centers, including the grid-patterned streets of Hibbing and Chisholm.

Smaller settlements and districts like Kitzville, Ruby Junction, and Brooklyn sit adjacent to these engineering works, while several local burial grounds, including the Old Cemetery and Maple Hill Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for genealogists. Educational and civic development is represented by the Hibbing Community College, located near the southern reaches of the main town site. From the Shannon River to the complex of roads near Kerr Location, the map documents a community deeply integrated with its geological and industrial environment.
