From the map: "The location of dominating features of the report are shown, namely, the Main Axes, the Circumferential Rings, the Civic Administrative and Transportation Centers, the River Front, and the Park System. The last named largely exists, as shown by green color; orange represents proposed parks, parkways or playgrounds. The function of the City Plan of Minneapolis is the logical completion of the existing system." This map corresponds with the published book, Plan of Minneapolis, prepared under the direction of the Civic commission, MCMXVII, by Edward H. Bennett, architect, 227 pages, 1917.
