From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

U.S. Route 197

U.S. Route 197 is a spur of U.S. Highway 97. The signed portion of the route runs for 82 miles (132 km) from Dallesport, Washington at State Route 14 to Shaniko Junction, Oregon at U.S. Highway 97, 12 miles southwest of Shaniko. It passes through the states of Washington and Oregon.

Prior to 1968 (when U.S. Highway 830 was decommissioned), U.S. 197 continued east (sharing an alignment with 830) for 18 more miles until a junction with U.S. Highway 97 near Maryhill, Washington. This portion of U.S. 197 is no longer signed; however it reportedly has not been deleted from the relevant route logs.
