Comments:

  • The 1946 map was the first to have insets of towns other than the Twin Cities and Duluth. These insets replaced the colorful montage of photos on the back of the 1941 and 1942 maps. The insets were arranged over a large regional map of the highways leading to Minnesota.
  • The 1946 map was the first map issued after World War 2.
  • The front of the map is virtually identical to the map issued in 1942.
