The rural street sign was put up between our visits. J14 is a gravel road west of here.
Facing east near the beginning of 258
The first and only "East 258" sign was in Van Wert, possibly where the route originally began and ended.

Like 152 and 207, the BGS is missing a direction tag, in this case an "East". This is only a fraction of a mile west of 258's original end. In 1969, 258 was extended to I-35, going from a spur to a route with both ends at other highways.

I have to give Jason special thanks for this picture because, due to my digital camera quitting on me at the beginning of this trip, my analog shot of this is half-occupied by my thumb. Which half? The important one, of course.

Both 258 and 266 had sort-of Y intersections at 69, just little ramps on either side with a road still going forward to a T.
