From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure where - if anywhere - this is going. But here's a list of the original roads added in 1910:

  • Idaho - Cove - Logan - Wellsville - Brigham City - Weber County (SR-1)
  • Brigham City - Corinne - Bear River City - Tremont - Garland - Riverside - Plymouth - Idaho (SR-17)
  • Utah County towards Payson - Nephi - Levan - Millard County (SR-1)
  • Nephi - San Pete County (SR-11)
  • Weber County near Devil's Slide - Echo - Coalville - Huntsville - Rockport - Kamas (SR-5, ~SR-4)
  • Kamas - Park City - Gogorza - Salt Lake County (~SR-4)
  • Idaho - Garden City - Laketown - Randolph - Argyle - Woodruff - Wyoming towards Evanston (SR-3)
  • Salt Lake County near Garfield - Erda - Tooele - Stockton (SR-36)

[edit] Patterns in numbering

All of the routes numbered on the 1926 map (1-17) were taken over at least in part by 1914. 16 and 17 later became 59 and 41. Larger numbers up to were taken over as early as 1910 (21) and as late as 1927.

Outliers not included in the above summary
  • 30: 1935
  • 40: 1933
  • 41: 1929 (when new 17 was taken)
  • 45: 1943 - but this is on a 1937 map
  • 50: 1935
  • 58: 1945
  • 59: 1935 (when new 16 was taken)

Other than these, 1 to 60 could have been numbered in 1927.

Afterwards, 61 to 74 are from 1931, 75 to 100 from 1935, 101 to 128 from 1931, 129 to 168 from 1933, and 169 to 195 from 1935.

[edit] 1913-14 additions

Box Elder County

In May, 1912, a road to pass west from Snowville through Park Valley, Rosette and Lucin to the Utah-Nevada line was designated as a State Road.

Cache County

In 1914 a road beginning at Clarkston and running through Newton and Benson to Logan was added to the system of State Roads in Cache County.

Commencing at Logan and running thence via Logan Canyon to the Forks, thence up the left hand fork to Beaver Creek, thence through Beaver Creek via the left hand fork of Beaver Creek, thence via Last Water and Amazon Mine through Shingle Creek Canyon to Garden City.

Garfield County

One designation commences at a point on the present State Road about two miles north of Hillsdale, and runs thence up Red Canyon to Tropic, thence to Cannonville, thence to Henrieville. The other designated road commences at Coyote on the east fork of the Sevier River, and runs thence via Winder on to Escalante.

Carbon County

It was proposed at the end of the biennium that the road leading through Soldier Canyon eastward and northward to Myton in Wasatch County be designated as a State Road.

Emery County

During the latter part of the previous biennium which ended in 1912, the road from Green River to Castle Dale was designated as a State Road.

Juab County

It was proposed during the biennium that the State Road Commission designate as a State Road the present old trail extending from Silver City to Tintic Junction and thence northwesterly into Tooele County, to connect with the proposed State Road at Vernon. Another designation of State Road was proposed for the old course extending from Silver City in a southwesterly direction, roughly paralleling the Salt Lake Route, into Millard County, to connect with the State Road to Oasis.
