USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The massive open-pit operations of the Mesabi Iron Range dominate the landscape around Nashwauk and Cooley in this mid-century survey. Industrial activity is centered on the Argonne Mine, Hawkins Mine, and Calbraith Mine, where an intricate network of mine dumps, tailings ponds, and levees has fundamentally reshaped the local topography. The Great Northern railroad provides the vital link for moving ore south, cutting through the heavy industrial zone that borders the primary settlements.
