About this map

The Laurentian Divide cuts through this portion of the Mesabi Range, marking the geographic split where waters flow either toward the Arctic Ocean or the Atlantic. This industrial landscape is heavily defined by the iron ore extraction industry as it appeared in the mid-20th century, with significant mine dumps and active excavations like the Mountain Iron Mine. The corporate limits of Kinney, Buhl, and Mountain Iron anchor the southern half of the sheet, while the northern territory remains largely part of the Superior National Forest.
