Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Elcor, Minnesota
Description	Elcor town site plat map, c. 1921-1926. From the Frank A. Wildes, Superintendent of Mines Subject Files, 1921-1933, Minnesota Auditor Land Department.
Source	State Archives of the Minnesota Historical Society. Derived from a photocopy and subsequent digital capture of the plat map. It cannot be ruled out with 100% certainty that the plat map may be pre-1923. It may be as early as 1921 since the name Elcor was adopted in 1920 or it may be as late as 1926 since the No. 5 shaft of the Elba mine is still depicted (the Elba mine was closed in 1926). Claimed as fair-use regardless.
Article	Elcor, Minnesota
Portion used	Only the original plat map of the Superintendent of Mines Subject Files was used.
Low resolution?	Yes, the image was photocopied and then scanned for use in the article with a loss of resolution.
Purpose of use	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification for the plat and layout of town site, depicting the streets, lots, the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad right-of-way (the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range right-of-way in 1938), buildings, mine shafts and highways as described in the article Elcor, Minnesota.
Replaceable?	Even if the image is pre-1923 and in the public domain, no other plat maps of Elcor can be found or are known to exist, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
Other information	Use of the image meets Wikipedia content requirements and significantly improves the article. DrGregMN (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
