1951 Map of Kirk

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mining and rail infrastructure dominate this landscape in the Mesabi Range, where the industry's footprint is visible through numerous pits, gravel pits, and a prominent Mine Dump near Buhl. The map captures the transition from industrial extraction north of the Mountain Iron Corporate Boundary to the agrarian and residential settlements of Cherry and Clinton in the south. The rural character of these communities is anchored by local landmarks like Bethel Ch, Bethel Cem, and School No 96. Water management for the region is evidenced by the sprawling West Two River Reservoir and the West Two River drainage. Transport networks are vital here, with the Burlington Northern and the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railroad providing the necessary heavy-duty connections for the region's mineral wealth.
