The industrial heart of the Mesabi Range is laid bare in this late-1970s survey, dominated by massive open-pit operations like the Hull-Rust-Mahoning Mine and the Minntac Mine. This landscape in northern St. Louis County is a study in the intersection of extraction and wilderness, where the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Ry and Burlington Northern lines weave through the Superior National Forest to connect iron hubs like Hibbing, Chisholm, and Virginia.
