1957 Map of Hibbing

About this map

Iron mining operations dominate the Mesabi Range landscape between Hibbing and Chisholm, where the massive Mahoning-Hull-Rust Mine complex carves deep into the earth. This mid-century survey reveals a highly industrialized environment defined by sprawling mine dumps, tailings ponds, and deep pits like the Scranton Mine and Albany Mine. The residential districts of Hibbing are densely packed south of the mining activity, featuring numerous neighborhood schools such as Alice Sch, Washington Sch, and Cobb-Cook Sch.
