(October 25, 1926-1981)
WEST End: IA 150, Fayette County
Facing north, but heading west, on 154
Until 1981, this was the end of IA 154, and then 187 superseded its entire route. The 1981 state map, with a notation that routes are correct as of October 1980, shows 154 still on its route. Replace the "187"s with "154"s to get an idea of what was here.
Because 154 went six miles north-south but eight miles east-west, I'm classifying it as an east-west route.

One mile south of here, 154/187 turns east while W33 goes straight south.
EAST End: Stop sign, IA 3 and W51 (IA 187 in 1980), Fayette County
Facing south on 187, but heading east on 154
This is the most likely candidate for the "End 154" pole.

This intersection is near the Starmont school. (Starmont is a conglomeration of town names - Strawberry Point, Arlington, and Lamont.)
Facing north on W51/187
Prior to 1980, the shield at right would be a 154 (with the same up arrow) - that is, if it was signed.
Last seen: 1981
Notice that on this map, 154 and 187 both end at the junction with 3.
