Neil writes, "Based on personal research of spur termini in other towns, IA 217 probably either ended at: this stop sign (1st street, which goes north from Breda as Granite Ave. toward Carnarvon and Lake View, or at the other end of Breda's business district, 3rd Street (near the flag pole seen in this picture.)"

LGS reads "<- Lake View 17; Carroll 7 ->". These signs were taken down and rearranged later.

The "West" is probably a remainder from the state route. Similar leftovers used to be on IA 236 in southern Carroll County.
