I just noticed on Google Earth that Buckner-Tarnsney Road is designated 20E, but it also has a state highway number of Bb.

North Atherton Road has a number of 12E.

That old map shows Linwood and The Paseo as the zero grid point for numbering the Jackson County highways.

Little Blue Road was 4 miles south of an east-west line projected out from Linwood to the county line, resulting in the 4-S designation. Buckner-Tarnsney with its 20E designation was twenty miles east of a north-south line following projected along The Paseo.

Even in the fifties, I thought that intersection at Linwood and The Paseo, with its concrete embedded traffic signal right in the middle of the intersection taking up a whole lane, was archaic, stupid, and dangerous. It is still there.

I am curious as to how they selected that particular intersection to number the county highways.

That's right, it IS another mystery photo!

Could that be Noland Road between Pacific and Noland looking north?

It could be that you are close to where it is.

Everyone must be recovering from the long weekend.

My source only captioned the photo as "Noland Road". I'm fairly certain it is looking north from about Sea or South Avenue. I think the cemetery wall is on the right side of the road in the distance. It was taken about 1941.

Today's food for thought...

What type of business did Kirby operate on Lexington back in the 1940s?

Shoes were required, and possibly sold once in a great while, but it wasn't a shoe store.
