About this map

Hibbing and Chisholm anchor this map of the Mesabi Range, where the landscape is profoundly shaped by its industrial heritage. The massive footprints of operations at Mahoning, Scranton, and Kerr dominate the central terrain, illustrating the scale of open-pit mining that defined the region's development. These excavations create a complex topography adjacent to established residential areas like Kitzville, Mitchell, and Brooklyn.

The Laurentian Divide crosses the northern portion of the quadrangle, marking the significant drainage split between the Hudson Bay and Lake Superior basins. Cultural landmarks are densely clustered in the south, including Hibbing Community College and several historic burial grounds such as North Hibbing Cem and Hibbing Park Cem. The map also traces the intricate road network supporting the mines, from the Hibbing Taconite Comp Access Rd to local thoroughfares like E Howard St.
