Hazelwood: I-35: I-35 SB (MP 74.3)
Hazelwood combines wooded roadside terrain with the high-speed infrastructure of Interstate 35 in a way that reflects its position in Dakota County on the southern edge of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. This part of Minnesota belongs to the wider Twin Cities urban area, yet continuous tree cover and broad highway verges remain part of its character. The Minnesota River forms part of Dakota County’s northwestern boundary. The county takes its name from the Dakota people, whose homelands include this region. Hazelwood represents the practical transport landscape linking the south metro with the rest of Minnesota.

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
