Furthest city you've seen on interstate sign (money, cities)

[Champ le monstre du lac]

I always though this sign was interesting, in Western Massachusetts on I-90 along the Mass Pike at the summit of a very steep hill/small mountain area at 1724 feet there is a sign that indicates its the highest point along I-90 until Oacoma, South Dakota, 1580 miles away.

On I-70, just outside of Baltimore city, there a sign that reads as followed

Columbus OH 420 miles
St. Louis 845
Denver 1700
Cove Fort 2200

In Barstow, CA at the western starting point of I-40 (just past junction with I-15) the sign says Wilmington, NC 2554 miles.

Yep! That's pretty far lol. I'm trying to recall where that is on the I-10...

In Tucson on the I-10 the next city is El Paso, about 4 or 5 hour drive. From Phoenix the next city is Los Angeles which is even farther.

I-40 from Flagstaff goes to Albuquerque and Los Angeles respectively.

I think the furthest one I've seen instead of just showing mile distance but the next city would be from Las Vegas and into Salt Lake City on the I-15. Quite the distance if you ask me.

Rt 50 leaving Ocean City, MD; Sacramento, CA 3073. To be quite honest, I don't even know if it is still there as I drive that road almost every day and don't really pay attention. I think Sacramento had/has one as well on their end of 50.

On the flipside, just outside Orange, there is a sign that says "El Paso 857 miles". Not to far from the Texas Louisiana border.

When you get to Baltimore, the control city is New York City. Not even Philadelphia.

Yes, I remember seeing a sign in Sacramento 20 or more years ago on the western end of US highway 50 that was posted with the miles to Ocean City, MD. I looked on Google map street view, but could not find it.

The cool thing about these signs is that all that mileage is in ONE STATE.

Isn't there a sign like that on I-90 in NE Ohio or just inside New York State?
