Highway 66 Map Title Page 1955

Title page and overview of proposed reroute of Highway 66 through Bethany. In 1955, Route 66 was needing to be recreated to bypass Lake Overholser in Bethany when it became clear that the Overholser Bridge could no longer handle the amount of traffic using Highway 66. This map with the proposed route still in use today was sent to the State Department of Highways January 5, 1955.
