Minot

Minot is a city in the Lakes and Gardens region of North Dakota with an estimated 48,000 inhabitants in 2020. Known as the Magic City, it's a significant rail hub (for freight, anyway). However, its location deep within North America and off the Interstate System generally means you don't see Minot if you don't plan on it.
