2016 Map of Stingy Lake

About this map

The Hibbing Taconite Tailings Basin anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking the industrial footprint of the Mesabi Range iron mining operations. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the heavy industry of the basin to the protected wilderness of the Superior National Forest in the northeast. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Stingy Lake, Lake Twentyfour, and Kleffman Lake, which are interconnected by the Prairie River and smaller streams like Deer Cr and Day Brook.
