Fictional Exit Guide

From: IA/MN State Line
To:  Burnsville, MN

This fictional guide goes from south to north, as the mileposts do, so if you are heading southbound, go to the bottom and scroll up.   This is my version of I-35 through southern Minnesota, with a few changes from the real-life version, namely in a few new interchanges, some different control cities, and a few different routes.  Mileages are rough and may not reflect actual mileage along the corridor.  Route shields framed in blue indicate Exit List continuations (click on the shield to continue).
