About this map

The iron mining landscape of the Mesabi Range dominates this 2010 study, where large-scale extraction sites like Ann Mine, Patrick Mine, and Kevin Mine border the small residential communities of Pengilly and Cooley. The geography is defined by the proximity of industry to recreation, with the Pengilly Post Office situated just south of the massive Kevin Mine workings. To the north, a cluster of mines including the Helen Mine and North Harrison Mine reveals the intensive footprint of the region's mineral economy.

Water management is central to the area's layout, shown through the Patrick Stilling Basin and the controlled flow of the Swan River at Charter Dam. While the northern half of the sheet is marked by open-pit mines and tailings, the southern half transitions into more natural terrain surrounding Swan Lake and Hart Lake. This balance is evident at the Swan Lake Campground, which provides a recreational anchor along the eastern shore of one of the county's significant water bodies.
