Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Southeast

The front side of "Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Southeast" contains the larger bikeways map, a legend, inset maps of Stillwater and Hastings, an illustration of the St. Croix Valley Tour Route, and bicycling safety tips. The back side contains inset maps of Austin, Faribault, Albert Lea, Rochester, Northfield, St. Cloud/Sauk Rapids, Mankato/North Mankato, Owatonna, Winona, and Red Wing; and an illustration of the Tour of Valleys and Ridgetops. MnDOT's bikeway maps serve as a reference guide illustrating major historical and cultural points of interest in Minnesota, public park lands and facilities, equipment, and safety information. They also depict road analyses for bicycle travel, location of paved road shoulders and off-road bikeways, and controlled access roads where bicycles are prohibited. There are 54 maps in the Statewide Series (1979-1983), 4 maps in the Statewide Quadrant Series (1986-1993), and 2 maps in the Metro Series (1989). Legislatively mandated, these maps were prepared as convenient guides to help bicyclists select their routes. Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.
