The front side of "Minnesota Bikeways: Map 12 - Northeast Minnesota" contains: a list of county, municipal, and state parks; national and state forests and state rest areas covered in the map; details about the Gunflint Trail and the GrandPortage National Monument; a map index; a "potpourri" article; and an inset map of Grand Marais. The back side contains the larger bikeways map and a legend of signs and symbols. 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 Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.
