North Country's EVTAC Arrow

The Eveleth Taconite (EVTAC) Mine on Minnesota's Mesabi Range hosts a large tailing pond, a section of which makes an artistic presentation of an arrow in this high resolution topographic model. The colors are generated in Global Mapper from USGS LiDAR elevation data using a 10 meter cyclic color ramp. The mine was the target of the class-action lawsuit portrayed in the 2005 movie "[North Country"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Country_(film)). Being a mine, one might expect the crime was an environmental one. It was, but the environment being trampled was the work environment of the female employees. The lawsuit depicted in the movie was the first class-action [sexual harassment lawsuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenson_v._Eveleth_Taconite_Co.) in the United States. Josephine "Josey" Aimes and her 14 co-workers were awarded a $3.5 Million settlement after a 15 year battle.
