2013 Map of Keewatin

About this map

The boundary between Itasca and Saint Louis counties runs directly through this Mesabi Range landscape, centering on the iron-mining era settlement of Keewatin. This region is defined by its industrial geography, with the community of Stevenson and the rail-oriented hamlet of Kelly Lake situated amidst a complex network of roads including Us-169 and Old Highway 169. The terrain is characterized by the W Swan River and numerous water bodies such as Libby Lake and Horsehead Lake to the north, which contrast with the heavy utility and transport infrastructure of the southern mining districts. Local genealogists will find the Keewatin Cem clearly marked south of the main town site, providing a primary point of reference for family histories in this part of the Iron Range.
