At the Heart of the Continent
THE TWIN CITIES metropolis stands near one corner of the populous northeastern quarter of the United States. Routes from the Twin Cities
to the southeast plunge into the industrial heart of America. But a few hours’
drive northward takes you into a vast wilderness that extends clear to the Pole and beyond! A few hours’ journey westward brings you to the wide- open landscapes of the semiarid western plains. The Twin Cities lie at the crossroads between vividly different regions at the center of North America.
