Prior to 1980, 91 just came to a halt here; for 23 years, the number was connected to IA 9. Minnesota 91 ends at MN 23 in Russell, 14 miles southwest of Marshall, 6 miles north of US 14.

For taking this picture facing west very close to sunset, the disposable camera did a better job of picking out the L14 signage than the digital camera did. Sometimes it's better when the camera is stupid.
