About this map

The Saint Louis River corridor defines the geography of this survey, serving as the industrial and natural boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Several distinct neighborhoods and industrial enclaves line the river’s western bank, from the established residential pockets of West Duluth and Riverside to the planned industrial community of Morgan Park. The map documents the complex infrastructure required to navigate the estuary, including the massive Bong Bridge and the Old Oliver Bridge further south.

Uphill from the riverfront, the terrain rises sharply toward Proctor and the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area, where the elevation provides a backdrop for the city. Local history is etched into the landscape at Oneota Cem and through the specialized footprints of Steelton and Gary. The intricate waterways of the Minnesota Channel and Pokegama River weave through Kilchlis Meadow, illustrating the transition from urban shipping hubs to the tidal marshes of the lower river.
