| Description |
Scalable map of the U.S. state of Minnesota, western region, showing terrain features: hills, lakes, rivers, roads and major towns, in quick photographic format (JPEG) to highlight terrain features. The Mesabi Range, Lake Superior, and nearby states are labeled; the Interstate icons are enlarged 40%; and major cities are bolded 20%-40% for readability when scaled to 310px display width. The distance scale is shown in miles/kilometers, and labels appear 4x times larger than original in the US National Atlas, at similar display width. Since the map has been cut to omit the northeast peninsula, arrows have been added to indicate omitted features, such as Mount Eagle. Format: Quick JPEG format for photographic quality, extracted/reduced from National-Atlas file of PNG format, 130x times more massive. Names have been enlarged for readability when map is resized smaller. Map is huge and could be reduced more: the original PNG file might crash browsers with many open windows. |
