~)efore hitting the Country Roads of Minnesota, a trav-<br > eler needs to know some of the basics: the who, what,<br >} where, why, when, and how. Longer than it is wide (406<br >~s from north to south and about zoo miles from east to<br >t at its skinniest point midstate), Minnesota is bordered<br >~he north by Canada, the south by Iowa, the east by<br >consin, and the west by the Dakotas. The state can be<br >ded into three distinct terrains: the grassy prairies in the<br >t, the pine forests of the north, and the hardwood forests<br >he east.<br >Only about io,ooo years ago, the landscape was covered<br >;laciers. When they melted, lakes and rivers were created,<br >ring more shoreline than in California, Florida, and<br >e~aii combined. While the state license plate says "Land of<br >)oo Lakes," there are actually at least ,z,ooo that have<br >n mapped. Coming up with names has been a challenge<br >surveyors. There are only so many Big Lake, Little Lake,<br >a Lake, and Lake Lake appellations to go around. In fact,<br >re are zoI Mud Lakes and r54 Long Lakes. So, name-<br >lers started into One-Mile Lake, Two-Mile Lake, and so<br > And there is even a Swan Lake (in Nicollet County, six<br >~es east of New Ulm). Some of the best lake names are<br >logna, Diddle de Woddle, and Dismal Swamp. There are<br >,84z lakes of more than m acres each, with one boat for<br >cry six people.<br > The state received its name from the Dakota Sioux, who<br >lied their country Minisota, which means "sky-tinted<br >lrers."<br >
