About this map

Keewatin and the western edge of Hibbing define this industrial landscape on the Mesabi Iron Range. The map reveals a complex terrain shaped by extensive open-pit mining, characterized by the dramatic contours around Stevenson and Bennett. These excavations sit in stark contrast to the natural hydrography of the region, including Welcome Lake, Libby Lake, and the Mahoning Lakes to the northeast.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the transport corridors of Old Hwy 169 and the modern highway, where neighborhoods like Clayton Acres and Kelly Lake are situated. Local historians will find the Keewatin Cem and the central Po in Keewatin, providing specific points of reference for the community's mid-20th-century footprint. The boundary between Itasca Co and St Louis Co bisects the area, marking a significant administrative divide through this resource-rich corridor.
