The front side of "Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Map B - Metro Northwest" contains the map index, a list of county and municipal parks, a "potpourri" article with illustrations of the Old North School and St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Plymouth; and a checklist of touring supplies with a diagram of where to put supplies on a bike. The back side contains a legend of signs and symbols, bicycling safety tips, and the larger bikeways 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 Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.

This is a view from Wayzata of Breezy Point on Lake Minnetonka, from Edward A. Bromley Collection, Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a reprint of a much earlier photo (circa 1860 - 1870).
A Hennepin County Library bookmobile is parked in front of the Wayzata Public Library, housed at that time in the City Hall building\. Wayzata Library serves Wayzata- and Lake Minnetonka-area residents. In 1905, space for a library was made available in Wayzata City Hall. When a fire destroyed City Hall in 1955, the library moved into a temporary location in the Kallstead Building. It reopened in 1957 in the new City Hall and again in its current location in Wayzata town square with a view of Lake Minnetonka.
