1951 Map of Mc Kinley

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The iron-rich Mesabi Range landscape dominates this mid-century survey, defined by the heavy industry of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad and massive excavations. Significant mining operations like the Corsica Mine and extensive mine dumps sit adjacent to established worker settlements including McKinley, Elcor, and Franklin. The southern portion of the map is a complex network of city boundaries and rail lines, while the north transitions into the protected wilderness of the Superior National Forest. Local landmarks of communal life appear amidst the industrial activity, such as the Town Hall and the Florenton Cem. Natural features like Pike Mountain and the Pike River provide a stark topographical contrast to the neighboring open-pit disturbances, illustrating the era's intensive resource extraction and its effect on the St. Louis County terrain.
