A set of two maps. The first map shows the location and size of iron ore deposits by geological region as of 1972. The location and type of iron mines as of 1970 are also denoted. This map is accompanied by several graphs showing iron ore resources by region as of 1972 as well as the production of beneficiated ore and direct-shipping ore for mining areas, the volume of pig iron and crude steel by place of production, the value of shipments from iron and steel mills and the value of iron ore production for 1970. The second map shows locations and production type of primary iron and steel mills. The map is accompanied by two supplementary graphs showing the crude steel capacity for selected mining areas for 1970, as well as production of pig iron during the period 1917 to 1970 and crude steel during the period 1894 to 1970.
