Historic Map - Duluth, MN - 1893
Description
View of Duluth, Saint Louis County, M.N., 1893 / drawn & published by American Publishing Co.
This bird’s-eye view print of Duluth, Minnesota was drawn and published by American Publishing Co. in 1893. Duluth has been an important Lake Superior trading port located at the headwaters of the Mississippi River since the area was part of New France. In 1855, when Saint Louis County was designated, Duluth was named its seat of government.
Copper began to be mined in the area and then iron ore, using an open-pit method. An extension of the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad from St. Paul was added in the late 1860's. This railroad line enabled Duluth to transport the region’s iron ore and harvested timber more easily and the town began to boom.
Immigrants from all over Europe settled in Duluth and the area began to attract wealthy Americans as well, who considered the area to be a scenic get-a-way and built impressive vacation manors.
The map indicates an 1873 population of 5,000 and an 1893 population of 70,000. It includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad routes. Port activity along the Bay of Duluth and Lake Superior is displayed. There are inset illustrations of the following:
