About this map

The Mahoning-Hull-Rust Mine dominates the landscape north of Hibbing and Chisholm, reflecting the peak mid-century industrial output of the Mesabi Iron Range. The map reveals an intricate network of open-pit mining operations, including the Scranton Mine and Pillsbury Mine, surrounded by extensive mine dumps and tailings ponds. This industrial activity is tightly woven into the urban fabric, with neighborhoods like Brooklyn and Kitzville situated on the very edges of massive excavations.
