US 164 [I] branched off its "parent" route (US 64) in Enid OK (pronounced EE-nid) and connected with US 66 at Amarillo (you can view photos from there on this page). In Enid, westbound US 64 came into town on what may have been "Main Street" then (but which is now spelled "Maine Street"), and then turned north on Grand Avenue. So US 164 would've begun by continuing straight ahead on Maine from Grand:

The photo below is looking east on Maine, at what was the historic end of US 164:

To the north (left) on Grand was northbound US 81 and westbound US 64, while eastbound US 64 was ahead on Maine. Also ahead, you can see the railroad overpass for the same railroad depicted on the 1929 map above. In the photo below, we're looking south on Grand:

That was eastbound US 64 (which continued to the left on Maine), and southbound US 81 (which continued to the right). Also to the right was the east beginning of US 164.

US 164 was replaced after only two years, when US 60 was extended westward along its route. The number 164 was used on another US route in the 1960s; you can read about it on this page.
