This month's featured article from P:USRD:
A section of the 1932 Michigan State Dept. of Highways road map showing M-35 in northern Marquette and Baraga counties
A section of the 1932 Michigan State Dept. of Highways road map showing M-35 in northern Marquette and Baraga counties

M-35 is a state trunkline highway in the Upper Peninsula (UP) of the U.S. state of Michigan. Running for 127.99 miles (205.98 km) in a general north–south direction, it connects the cities of Menominee, Escanaba and Negaunee. The southern section of M-35 in Menominee and Delta counties carries two additional designations. M-35 forms a segment of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour, and it is the UP Hidden Coast Recreational Heritage Trail, which is a part of the Michigan Heritage Routes system. Along the southern section, the highway is the closest trunkline to the Bay of Green Bay, a section of Lake Michigan, and is also the shortest route between Menominee and Escanaba. The northern section of the highway turns inland through wooded terrain, connecting rural portions of Delta and Marquette counties.

M-35 is an original state trunkline that was first designated on 1 July 1919, originally intended to run from Menominee in the south to near Big Bay in the north, before turning toward L'Anse to end at Ontonagon. However, the section through the Huron Mountains in northern Marquette and Baraga counties was never built. Automobile pioneer Henry Ford helped halt this construction to gain favor with and membership in the exclusive Huron Mountain Club. Some discontinuous sections were later ceded to local control. The northern segment of the route between Ontonagon and Baraga was retained as a discontinuous segment of the highway; this northern segment was redesignated as another state trunkline. The northern end was rerouted out of the City of Negaunee into Negaunee Township to avoid mining activity near Palmer.

[edit] Structure

[edit] Infobox

Articles should use Template:Infobox MO Route, and all known info should be supplied. See the Infobox section on applicable flags as well as standards for the routebox.

[edit] Main section

Untitled section that describes the route. It might be helpful for formatting to use {{TOCleft}} at the top of this section to display the table of contents on the top left, followed by the main description of the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, such as progress by town or county, should be reserved for the next section.

[edit] Route description

This section is for describing the route itself and its progression across Missouri. Regardless of the route's length, progression should be described from south to north, west to east, to correspond to WP:USRD standards.

[edit] Communities along the route

List of communities, which can range from small hamlets to large cities, along the route. Depending on the length of the route this may include only major communities, or just the few hamlets the route passes through.

[edit] Major intersections or Exit list

The contents of this section may vary by route. Refer to the table below for the appropriate section header and further instructions.

Route composition Section header title What should be here
All grade-separated interchanges; no at-grade intersections Exit list An exit list designed in accordance with the Interstate exit list guide
Mixture of grade-separated interchanges and at-grade intersections Major intersections or Exit list Depending on the route in question, either a junction table or a "combo" exit list featuring exits and intersections can be used.
All at-grade intersections; no grade-separated interchanges Major intersections A junction table for at-grade intersections as specified in the "Junction table" section below

[edit] History

Any historical information known about the route should be noted.

[edit] Miscellanea

Any trivia or facts about a route (any interesting information that doesn't belong in the History section) should be placed in this section.

[edit] See also

Place all internal links here.

[edit] References

Place all references here, using the <ref></ref> tags in the article and the <references/> tag in this section.

[edit] External links

Place all external links which are not references here.

[edit] Categories

All state highways should include the category tag: [[Category:Missouri state highways|nnnA]] where nnn is 3-digit route number, and A is the letter designation if any (e.g. Route 1A is "001A", Route 2 is "002").

[edit] Talk pages

{{U.S. Roads WikiProject|state=MO}} should be placed at the top of all talk pages of articles related to Missouri State Highways.

[edit] Infobox

The Infobox to use for these routes is the Template:Infobox MO Route template, unless it is an Interstate, which uses Template:Infobox Interstate/Intrastate.

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.

{{Infobox MO Route
|type=
|sign_image=
|article_route=
|alternate_name=
|name_notes=
|established=
|decommissioned=
|length_mi=
|length_round=

|terminus_b=
|counties=
|cities=
|previous_type=
|previous_route=
|next_type=
|next_route=
|browse=
|commons=
}}

Here is a list of variables that you need to fill in:

  • type: either "MO" (Missouri routes) or "Supp" (SSRs), no quotes
  • sign_image: DO NOT USE, only for routeboxes that haven't been converted to the new system yet
  • article_route: The route number (example "5" without quotes)
  • alternate_name: Another name the route is referred to for its entire length
  • name_notes: Any miscellanea about a particular route
  • established: The year when the route was signed and commissioned into service
  • decommissioned: The year when the route was decommissioned (do not use when the route is active)
  • length_mi: How long the route is
  • length_round: Only use if there are one or more decimal places in the mileage (if there are two decimal places, specify 2)
  • length_ref: A citation of where the length comes from (with <ref></ref> tags
  • length_notes: Any miscellanea about the length
  • map: A map, if available, without wiki markup
  • direction_a: West or South in accordance with WP:USRD/INNA
  • terminus_a: The western or southern terminus of the route
  • junctions: A <br> delimited list of major junctions along the route (limit 10)
  • direction_b: East or North in accordance with WP:USRD/INNA
  • terminus_b: The eastern or northern terminus of the route
  • counties: A comma-delimited list of the counties the route passes through
  • cities: A comma-delimited list of the cities/towns the route passes through
  • previous_type: The type of route that comes before the current one (MO, US, Interstate)
  • previous_route: The route number that comes before the current one (3 is before 5)
  • next_type: The type of route that comes after the current one (MO, US, Interstate)
  • next_route: The route number that comes after the current one (6 is after 5)
  • browse: Additional browse lines
  • commons: use to add a link to an image gallery or category on Wikimedia Commons, usage should be gallery, category, or left blank/omitted.

Important notes regarding the routebox: For the previous and next route types, remember to list them in order of priority. The precedence is as follows: U.S. Interstate, U.S. Route, Missouri State Highways.

Any tags that do not apply to a particular route can either be omitted or left blank.

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one above.

[edit] Junction table

The junction table, to be located in "Major intersections", is for listing all of the intersections, both actual junctions and over/underpasses, that this route has with state routes, U.S. routes, Interstates and, optionally, county routes.


[edit] Shields

Shields for Missouri State Highways have been created in the format MO-X.svg, where X is the route number.
