About this map

The iron mining legacy of the Mesabi Range is etched across this landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets the deep blue of the Minnesota woods. Highlighting this interface is the Butler Taconite Initial Tails BA and specialized water management features like Patrick Stilling Basin and Hill Annex Pond One. These massive modifications to the earth sit alongside the established mining communities of Nashwauk, Cooley, and Pengilly, which are linked by the corridor of Us-169.

South of the heavy industry, the terrain shifts to the recreational waters of Swan Lake, where the Swan Lake Campground and residential clusters like Jurgenson and Cort line the shores. Smaller settlements and water bodies, such as Kevin and Ox Hide Lake, fill the spaces between the mines and the forests. The intricate network of local roads, including Ojaville Rd and Kaleya Beach Rd, provides access to both the industrial sites and the seasonal lakeside homes that define Itasca County's character.
