		Minnesota is the largest state by land area in the Midwestern United States and is in the sub-region known as the Upper Midwest.

	Mississippi River
		The 314-kilometer segment of the Upper Mississippi River extending from the mouth of the Missouri River (near St. Louis, Missouri) to the mouth of the Ohio is often termed the Middle Mississippi River.
		The Chippewa River, with its steep gradient, is the primary sand source for the reach of the Upper Mississippi River downstream from Lake Pepin (Nielsen et al.
		The 100-kilometer reach of river downstream from the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, for example, suffered severe oxygen depletion caused by sewage discharged into the river (Wiebe 1927; Fremling 1964, 1989), and pollution-sensitive organisms, such as burrowing hexagenia mayflies, were absent or scarce in Pools 2, 3, and 4.

	Introduction to Minnesota - The United States of America
		The North Star State: Perhaps the most common nickname for Minnesota, "The North Star State" evolved from the State Motto L'Etoile du Nord or "Star of the North." The State Motto appears on the Great Seal of Minnesota and the State Flag.
		It seems that there was some discussion in the middle of the 19th century, before Minnesota became a state, about whether to call Minnesota "The Gopher State" or "The Beaver State." Opponents of "The Gopher State" called the striped gopher an insignificant animal with a destructive nature.
		The second quarter to be released in 2005 commemorates the State of Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 Lakes." On May 11, 1858, Minnesota became the 32nd state admitted into the Union, and as such, it is the 32nd coin to be issued in the United States Mint's popular 50 State Quarters® Program.
