Cool, no hurry. Does it follow all of former US 312 from US 87 to I-94 east of Billings as far as you know?

Honestly until you mentioned that I had no idea it deviated from the official route in Montana! Looking around the Huntley/East Billings area it doesn't look like it jumps back to I-94 anywhere, so I think I'll route that branch off the interstate between I-90 Exit 456 and I-94 Exit 23 along BL 90, US 87, and Old 312 (which is state-maintained as... something... will have to look into that more closely).

Or it could just be a spur to Pompey's Pillar if there aren't any other signs. I hope to be in the area in a few days and will report anything else I see.

Oh look a sign in Billings: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.7997312,-108.4810955,3a,15y,47.46h,90.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgq_GzNDOH0k4-V_RfCxo8Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu

I'll stick with my branch-off-the-interstate plan for now, let me know if there's signage to the contrary.

I didn't see any other signs for it on Hwy 312, which I took from that exit as far as SR 522, taking that back to I-94. This SR 568 sign is still up.

In Nebraska, there's signage for the Lincoln Hwy along the former US 30 route west and east of North Bend.

NV: Lincoln Hwy on Alt US 93

GMSV is ancient here, so there's no useful imagery, but I did see a sign for the Lincoln Hwy (in addition to the Pony Express Trail) headed southbound just past Wendover.

There is a well-signed piece of Old Spanish Trail north out of Santa Fe, from Paseo de Peralta to Tesuque.

I ran out of time to draft Old Spanish Trail sections. It doesn't help that there isn't, unlike the other mapped trails (there's also a couple more that I haven't looked at though same issue there, plus I didn't finish the Trail of Tears round up routes as they are a mess), an auto trail description set.

It actually starts at Palace Avenue, not quite making it to the square in the middle of Santa Fe.
