U.S. Highway 71
United States Highway 71 is a north-south United States highway. This original 1926 route has remained largely unchanged by encroaching Interstate highways.
Termini
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in International Falls, Minnesota at the Canadian border, at the southern end of a toll bridge to Fort Frances, Ontario. U.S. Highway 53 also ends here. On the other side of the bridge, Trans-Canada Highway 11 is an east-west route. US 71's southern terminus is between Opelousas and Krotz Springs, Louisiana at an intersection with U.S. Highway 190.
Historic termini
Until 1950, US 71 extended down the present-day route of U.S. Highway 190 to Port Allen, Louisiana near the state capitol, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Otherwise, the route is largely intact.
