1955 Map of Schroeder

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Lake Superior’s North Shore is defined here by the industrial emergence of the mid-1950s, most notably with the Erie Mining Company Railroad Under Construction and the developing Taconite Harbor. These features represent a pivotal era when the Iron Range's influence reached the coast to facilitate ore transport. The settlement of Schroeder sits at the mouth of the Cross River, while the inland landscape is a dense network of waterways like the Temperance River, Island River, and Fredenberg Creek. The map documents a rugged transition from the managed timberlands of the Superior National Forest and Finland State Forest to the coastal industrial sites. Notable local landmarks including a Radio Tower and the Taconite Plant provide specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of Minnesota's natural resources and the post-war industrial expansion.
