About this map

Nashwauk and the surrounding Mesabi Range communities are defined by an intricate network of iron mining basins and glaciated lakes. The landscape shows the significant footprints of industrial water management, such as the Patrick Stilling Basin and Ox Hide Lake, which sit adjacent to established settlements like Cooley and Kevin. The residential core of Pengilly sits on the northern shore of Swan Lake, where a grid of local roads like Lakeview ST and Badavinac RD meets the water's edge.

Waterways dominate the southern and eastern portions of the map, from the sprawling reach of Swan Lake to smaller bodies like Hart Lake and Little O'Brien Lake. The topography is shaped by both natural drainage like O'Brien Cr and the heavy engineering required for regional mining operations. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between these extractive industries and the lakeside recreational areas that characterize Itasca County.
