2022 Map of Pengilly

About this map

Swan Lake dominates the central landscape of this Itasca County region, where the iron-rich geology of the Mesabi Range has significantly shaped the topography and settlement patterns. The map highlights the industrial legacy of the area through features like the Patrick Stilling Basin and various water bodies like Ox Hide Lake and Snowball Lake. Communities such as Nashwauk, Pengilly, and Calumet are situated along the transit corridors that once served the mining industry, now reflected in the Alborn-Pengilly Railroad Trail MS84.029 Trl. The complex hydrography of the northern lakes region is evident in the sprawling networks of O'Brien Creek and Oxhide Creek, which weave between small residential clusters like Cooley and Jurgenson. This survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and natural water systems that define the Iron Range's unique geography.
