Before 1952 the south end of US 277 was in Del Rio - I'm guessing at the international border. If you have (or could obtain) a photo of the signage there or the place, please let me know!

US 277 now extends to Carrizo Springs TX. The photo below shows the last southbound sign - as well as the actual terminus, which is at the stoplight in the background:

That's looking southeast on Pena Street; the stoplight is at First Street, which serves as US 83. The shot below is looking southwest on First, at the intersection with Pena:

After the pickup makes his right turn there, he'll soon see the first northbound US 277 sign, shown below (it's in front of the Pizza Hut, visible in the first photo):

The north end of US 277 is currently in Newcastle OK. The photo below shows the northernmost US 277 sign; that's on Meridian Road (or Main Street Newcastle), about 3/4 mile south of the interchange with I-44 (locally known as the H.E. Bailey Turnpike):

Note the "East US 62" marker, because they got it wrong on the sign below:

There's no "End" sign at the north terminus of US 277 - only the sign shown above. Even though you do travel north to get to OK City, US 62 is an east-west highway. Here's the north beginning of US 277, as viewed from the exit on westbound I-44:

The reason US 277 is numbered such is because it was originally co-signed with 62 all the way into OKC - to its junction with US 77. The photo below is looking north on Robinson Avenue, which historically served as US 77:

The traffic light is at 29th Street. Once beyond that signal, you would've been on eastbound US 62 as well. Westbound US 62 went left at the light. If you were to go that way, you also would've been at the north beginning of US 277. The shot below is of the same intersection, but looking northeast - from the perspective of traffic on 29th:

This was US 62/US 277. 277 ended here, but 62 turned left onto Robinson, to be co-signed with US 77 into downtown.
