Butte%2C Montana%3F No%2C its Upper Midwest doppelg%C3%A4nger%2C Hibbing%2C Minnesota%2C where mining for iron ore created giant open pits that gnawed out swaths of the great North Woods. Rough and tumble%2C a town of hard-working immigrants like Butte%2C Hibbing seems an unlikely place%2C perhaps%2C for producing a force of nature whose poetry would command universal resonance. Pictured here is the Hull-Rust-Mahoning Open Pit Iron Ore Mine from an overlook on the edge of Hibbing. Dylan road his motorcycle as a teenager through some of the pits.
