About this map

The Laurentian Divide cuts across this section of the Mesabi Iron Range, marking the high ground where water flows either toward the Hudson Bay or the Atlantic Ocean. In this mineral-rich landscape of Saint Louis County, industrial and natural interests coexist. Large-scale mining operations, represented by the US Steel facility and the massive Minntac Tailings Basin Cell One, dominate the eastern and southern portions of the terrain.

Settlement is concentrated in the small incorporated community of Kinney and the nearby village of Lucknow, while much of the northern area is managed as part of the Superior National Forest. A network of local roads such as Sherwood Anderson Rd and Wade Mine Rd connect these remote outposts. The hydrology is defined by the Dark River and W Two River, alongside several basins like Yates Lake and Severson Lake, providing a clear picture of the region's complex water management and natural drainage.
