[edit] Oregon Coast Highway

I just made Oregon Coast Highway redirect to here. However, I have come across references to the "old" Oregon Coast Highway that passes, for example, through Carpenterville, which is several miles inland. Does anybody have any history of the old alignment of the highway that can be added to this article? Thanks, Katr67 23:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

That's OR 255. - Dan ad nauseam 23:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. But referring to the Oregon Coast Highway as a whole, when did it get realigned/renamed, why, etc. would be interesting to add to *this* article. Was it just the Route 255 portion or were there others? Funny, this article doesn't have a history section... Katr67 17:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tenmile

I believe that someone has mistakenly placed the town of Tenmile on Highway 101, although it is most certainly located on Highway 42 between Roseburg and Myrtle Point. My grandfather was born in Tenmile and his parents and grandparents are buried in the Tenmile Cemetery, within sight of Highway 42, and many miles east of Highway 101. Are there two towns in Oregon called Tenmile? Nyanna 01:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

They are referring to Tenmile Lakes, Lakeside. Sometimes the locals refer to it simply as "Tenmile", not to be confused with the town of Tenmile on Highway 42. Greg Collver

[edit] Roosevelt Highway Sources?

I see there is a redirect from Roosevelt Coast Highway to here, but see also my query at Talk:U.S. Route 101#Roosevelt Highway? And was it only the Oregon portion that was so-named? Katr67 (talk) 16:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

This can be seen in [1]. It appears to be only the Oregon portion; it was named by state law in 1921. --NE2 20:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
