2016 Map of West Duluth

About this map

The Saint Louis River corridor serves as the industrial and geographic spine of this border region, separating Duluth, Minnesota, from Superior, Wisconsin. The map captures the complex waterfront where the river widens into Saint Louis Bay, dotted with significant landforms like Clough Island and Spirit Island. Inland, the terrain rises toward Bardon Peak, overlooking a dense network of industrial neighborhoods and planned communities. The legacy of heavy industry is visible in the layout of Morgan Park, Steelton, and New Duluth, which were established to support the nearby mills and manufacturing centers. Transportation is a dominant theme, with the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range RR threading through the river valley and multiple crossings like the Bong Bridge and the Old Oliver Bridge linking the two states. Cultural sites such as Oneota Cem and Duluth Business Univ reflect the long-standing civic foundations of the harbor city.
