Description

In Minnesota, a county can establish a system of unorganized territory or unorganized township (UT) roads. At least two counties, Cook and St. Louis, have posted route markers for these roads: a white square with “UT” either toward the top or as a prefix of the route number. Following the usual pattern in Minnesota, network=US:MN:<county>:UT should result in a white rectangular shield. Since township roads and other types of county-maintained roads can also have white squares as shields, we need to add “UT” as a banner up top.

UT Road 9115 in Makinen Unorganized Territory, St. Louis County, Minnesota:
