End of historic US highway 17-1

View a map showing this route.
1926-1932
US 17-1 measured approx. 233 miles in total length.
US 17-1 was among the original routes of 1926.  Claim to fame: US 17-1 was the only major US highway that was ever assigned a hyphenated route number.  I suspect its strange number was intended to convey the fact that it ran between US 17 in Wilmington and US 1 at Petersburg (photos and more info on those pages).
