  • This was the first map to be issued on a truly bi-annual basis, a practice still in use today.
  • This map uses a unique orange color scheme.
  • A small inset on the front of the map shows Minnesota's new "Tourism Regions".
  • The reverse side has been rearranged to make room for a large feature on the creation of MNDOT and the transportation modes under its jurisdiction.
