	Iron Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Range", as it is known by locals, is a region with multiple distinct bands of iron ore.
		The far eastern area, along the shore of Lake Superior, and the far northern area, along the Canadian border, of the region are not associated with iron ore mining, and are collectively referred to as the Arrowhead region of the state.
		The Iron Range Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Board (IRRRB), sometimes known simply as Iron Range Resources, is an economic development agency funded partly by taxes levied by the state on taconite-producing companies and charged with creating jobs.

	National Register of Historic Places - Iron Range Region
		On the Mesabi Range, stretching 100 miles from Grand Rapids to Babbitt, soft ore lay close to the surface, where it could be scooped from open pit mines.
		The smaller Cuyuna Range, in Crow Wing and Aitkin counties, was the last to be mined because the high manganese content of its ore made processing difficult.
		It was the discovery of iron ore, however, that led Pennsylvania industrialist Charlemagne Tower to buy vast tracts of land on the Vermilion Range.

	The Iron Riches of Michigan's Upper Peninsula - Background Reading
		Of the six principal iron ranges, or areas, in the United States, three are located primarily in Michigan: the Marquette Range, all of which is found within the state, and the Menominee and Gogebic ranges which are located in both Michigan and Wisconsin.
		This range extends almost eighty miles between Atkins Lake in Wisconsin and Lake Gogebic in Michigan; the Michigan section is approximately twenty-five miles long and stretches from the state boundary at Ironwood to a point slightly west of Lake Gogebic.
		Agglomeration, a process that separates iron ore and waste rock and then roasts the particles until they form small pellets or balls, kept Michigan's iron industry in a strong competitive position and is contributing another chapter in the seemingly endless history of Michigan's iron ranges.

	The Cuyuna Iron range
		The Cuyuna iron range in east-central Minnesota is unique in the Lake Superior region because of its large manganiferous iron-ore resources.
		Although much smaller than the Mesabi iron range to the north, the Cuyuna was a major producer of iron ore for 80 years.
		The North range is comprised of three stratigraphic units of Precambrian age-- the Trommald, Rabbit Lake and Mahnomen formations.

		A producing wrought iron from ore was erected on Carp River, and it was there that the first metallic iron was made.
		In 1861, the output for the Marquette Range was 120,000 tons; by 1868, annual figures had reached a half million tons; and, by 1873, the range produced over one million tons of ore, a figure that steadily increased through the turn of the century.

		It’s been four decades since mining ended in the Penokee-Gogebic Range, but the rich deposits of magnetic iron ore remaining in two counties in Northwest Wisconsin are again on the radar.
		The mines on the Iron Range and (Michigan’s) Upper Peninsula are producing pellets at a pretty steady clip, and that’s meeting everybody’s needs for now,” Congdon said.
		But the iron ore there is buried deep in long, narrow bands, and is difficult to mine.
