End of historic US highway 370

US 370 was among the original routes of 1926, serving the Ft. Worth - Amarillo corridor. Its eastern terminus was always at US 81 in Bowie. This photo was taken looking northwest on Wise Street, or northbound US 81, which splits off to the right just ahead:

US 370 began straight ahead on Wise. In 1939 that became part of an extended US 287. After today's US 287 bypass was built, Wise may have been Business 287, but now it appears to be only FM 174. Signage at the gore is shown here:

The west end of US 370 was in Amarillo or nearby; the exact terminus is difficult to pinpoint with any certainty (see the Amarillo page for maps and more info).
