Ely, Minnesota, is home to a few thousand people. It’s a place of long, hard winters that is, in the words of one resident, “not on the road to anywhere — we’re literally the end of the road.” For most of the town’s history, the main reason people came was to make a living off iron ore. But people visit for another reason, too: to visit America’s most popular national wilderness area, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Boundary Waters — photographed here by Christopher Payne for @nytmag — encompasses roughly a million protected acres and thousands of lakes. The “Land of 10,000 Lakes” is actually a land of 11,842 lakes, and that counts only those bigger than 10 acres. All that water is a legacy of glaciers that retreated from the region about 10,000 years ago. More recently, though, geological coincidence has made Ely a focus of a national debate about the proper use of #publiclands. There are those who think minerals are the region’s greatest asset, and those who think clean waters are. Proposed mines near the Boundary Waters have become the latest front in the fight over who gets to profit from America’s natural resources. Visit the link in our profile to read more in @nytmag.
