1952 Map of Silica

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Industrial expansion into the Mesabi Range characterizes this survey, where the heavy footprints of iron mining intersect with the wilder hydrology of the Itasca and St. Louis county line. Large-scale excavations near Nashwauk are marked by a massive Tailings Pond and a defensive Levee, signaling the intensive transformation of the northern landscape during the mid-20th century. The transportation of ore is central to the area's layout, dominated by the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railroad and the Burlington Northern lines that cut through Lone Pine and Stuntz townships.
