Fictional Exit Guide

From:  Columbus, MN
To:  Cloquet, 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 northern Minnesota, including a lengthy realignment and extension to the Canadian border at International Falls, MN.  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).
