This atlas accompanies the International Joint Commission's report concerning the Rainy Lake waterway between the United States and Canada. The Commission's efforts were concentrated on the traditional voyageurs highway, which now divides the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area and Quetico Provincial Park.

The front side of "Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Northeast" contains: inset maps of Duluth, Cloquet, Hibbing, Virginia, International Falls, and Brainerd; illustrations of the Gunflint Trail Tour Route, Iron Range Tour Route, and Duluth to Two Harbors Tour; a checklist of touring supplies with a diagram of where to put supplies on a bike; and bicycling safety tips. The back side contains the larger bikeways map, legend, and a list of Minnesota bicycle laws. MnDOT's bikeway maps serve as a reference guide illustrating major historical and cultural points of interest in Minnesota, public park lands and facilities, equipment, and safety information. They also depict road analyses for bicycle travel, location of paved road shoulders and off-road bikeways, and controlled access roads where bicycles are prohibited. There are 54 maps in the Statewide Series (1979-1983), 4 maps in the Statewide Quadrant Series (1986-1993), and 2 maps in the Metro Series (1989). Legislatively mandated, these maps were prepared as convenient guides to help bicyclists select their routes. Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.

Ernest Oberholtzer is educating the reader about the impact of proposed dams. This could be the Backus-proposed dams in the mid-1920s. Dotted lines, ink on parchment, define the Rainy Lake Watershed and the international border. Rail lines are drawn and major lakes are noted. This could well be Oberholtzer's hand-work. Map goes from the western shore of Lake of the Woods to Fort William on the east. Rainer [sic] town name is spelled wrong.
These maps accompany the International Boundary Commission's report to survey and delineate the border between the United States and Canada. The Commission's efforts were concentrated on the traditional voyageurs highway, which now divides the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area and Quetico Provincial Park.
