U.S. Highway Ends

What would one find at the end of a highway? A pot of gold? Click here to find out...

American High Plains

The High Plains pages contain - among other things - photos of state high points, state corners, and interesting geographical sites found in this region of subtle beauty.

Parting of the Waters

Read about "holes" in the Continental Divide, and Two Ocean Creek - a stream that contributes water to two oceans simutaneously.

Headwaters Hill

Visit the Headwaters Hill pages to learn about our quest to officially recognize a previously unnamed mountain. It's one of only five points in the continental U.S. that drain to three different places in the ocean. 

Note: as of July 12, 2001 the name "Headwaters Hill" is official! However, we have not yet updated the site to reflect this.

Wyoming U.S. highways

This page is an index to all my maps of both current and historic US highway routes in Wyoming. The maps make more sense when viewed in the context of the aaroads Wyoming Highways Pages, for which they were originally created.

A few stand-alone pages:

• Lewiston, ID highways.
• Brownsville, TX highways.
• Denver isn't the only Denver.
• Interesting intersections in Denver.
• Maps illustrating how the "number-direction parity" concept is fairly well-implemented among the vast majority of US routes (that is, east-west routes are assigned even numbers, and north/south routes have odd numbers).
• Some thoughts on the problems and inconsistencies caused by Colorado's decision not to co-sign US routes where they're joined with interstates (including a photo of the last remaining US 87 shield in the state).
• Photos from Kansas roadtrip (November 2001).
• Photos from Utah roadtrip (July 2004).
• Signage in and around Estes Park CO.
• Signage in Maysville KY - Aberdeen OH and surrounding area.
• Stateline towns named from a combination of two or more state names.
• Historic US 6 in Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado.
• Unsettling signs for truckers approaching Denver on eastbound I-70.
• The view from westbound I-70 at the Genesee Bridge in Colorado.
• "Alternate routes to Salt Lake City" - thoughts prompted by a curious sign on westbound I-70, west of Denver.
• An old segment of state highway 83 (Parker Road) through what is now Cherry Creek State Park.
• The old (now dismantled) Colorado and Southern Railway bridge over I-25 in south Denver.
• Roadside signage and placenames in Lancaster County PA (which, I'm warning you now, you may find base or offensive).
• Some good map- and geography-related quotes.
