The front side of "Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Map H - Metro South" contains the map index, a list of county and municipal parks, bicycling safety tips, and a "potpourri" article with illustrations of the Bailiff House in Bloomington and the Bloomington Historical Society's Old Town Hall Museum. The back side contains a legend of signs and symbols and the larger map. 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 Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.

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.
