From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Highway 70 or SH 70 is a state highway that runs 315 miles from Perryton to just south of Blackwell. SH 70 was originally designated by 1933 from Jayton to just northeast of San Angelo along a portion of SH 4, which had been shifted farther east. In 1938, the highway had been extended north from Jayton to Dickens, absorbing a portion of SH 18. Significant extension came in 1947, when SH 70 was extended to Perryton in the northern Panhandle, due to the rerouting of U.S. Route 62 and the cancellation of SH 18. At the same time, the portion from just south of Blackwell to near San Angelo was transferred to U.S. Route 277. This brought the route to its current designation.
