Highway 10 was an east-west route across the northern states of the US. Until the interstate system was complete in the 1960s, it was the primary long-distance route between cities in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Minnesota
Highway 10, then US Route 10, leaves Moorhead and travels mostly eastward until just south of Brainerd, where it turns more southeasterly and to Anoka and Minneapolis. Numerous vibrant small cities line Highway 10, such as Hawley, Detroit Lakes, and Staples.
North Dakota
US Route 10 officially ends at the West Fargo exit of I-94; however, prior to the interstate, ND Highway 10 continued across the state, ending at Beach on the western border. Portions still exist, and are cumulatively called the "Old Red Trail." These segments are primarily in the western end of the state, near Dickinson, as Interstate 94 more closely follows the path of Highway 10 across North Dakota than it did in Minnesota.
