2016 Map of Soudan

About this map

Soudan and the surrounding Iron Range landscape define this 2016 survey, where the intersection of mining history and the intricate waterways of Vermilion Lake is clearly visible. The settlement at Soudan is laid out with a grid of streets including Main St and Church St, while the nearby Larue Mine Rd hints at the industrial heritage of the Vermilion Range. The terrain is characterized by a dense archipelago of islands, including Timber Island, Ely Island, and Hendrickson Island, which separate large bodies of water like Armstrong Bay and Stuntz Bay. To the south, the landscape transitions into a complex of smaller lakes and rivers, such as Fivemile Lake, Eagles Nest Lake Number 2, and the winding East Two River. Local high points like Jasper Peak offer a vantage over the network of township roads and forest tracks that connect the isolated settlement of Murray to the lakefront.
