usatr: United States select tourist routes

On the other eastern NE Lincoln Highway segments, I didn't notice any signage in Waterloo (but it was dark) and the Elkhorn segment tried to wreck my car.

I found a few signs in Waterloo: 1 2 3

Well that explains it, I was going west-to-east and all those signs are going east-to-west. I withdraw any objections.

On the topic of the Lincoln Highway, the ne.linhwy route (https://travelmapping.net/hb/showroute.php?units=miles&r=ne.linhwy) has a number of points where it jumps off of US 30 and on to county roads (and back again), but these points aren't in the main US 30 file.

Thought that I would mention that the Jefferson Highway is signed in Oklahoma throughout the state:

Colbert
Muskogee
Okay
Stringtown
McAlester
Eufaula
Picher

It looks like most of these signs were put up in the last year or so. It's pretty decently signed on state-maintained roads, but it does not look like it is signed on county or city-maintained roads.

Someone put together a useful map of the route of the Jefferson Highway:

There is a disconnected portion of the Lewis and Clark Trail in Saline County, Missouri, which is not in the Highway Browser. This spur presumably starts in Van Meter State Park (I haven't found any true shields along MO 122, but there is this sign in the state park that appears to have the LC Trail logo.), but the first actual signage on GMSV is at the MO 41/MO 122 intersection. The route turns north onto MO 41, and then turns west onto Mechanic Street in Miami. Exactly where in Miami the northern terminus is located is unclear (maybe at the boat ramp/fishing access point on the Missouri River on the north side of town?).

There are several more signed segments of the Old Spanish Trail in New Mexico. One follows Ranchito Road (NM 240) west from downtown Taos to Los Cordovas Road. Another follows Paseo del Pueblo (NM 68 and US 64) from NM 518 to Veterans Hwy/BIA 701. (Based on the mileage stated on the sign at NM 518, this segment should in theory continue another mile north along Veterans Hwy, but I don't see any Old Spanish Trail signs anywhere on Veterans Hwy on GMSV.) A third follows NM 522 from US 64 to NM 196. I found another sign on NM 68 SB at the beginning of the switchbacks approaching Pilar. (I haven't found the corresponding southern sign. The mileage on the sign doesn't make sense, as, on the NPS map of the Old Spanish Trail, the trail abruptly turns away from NM 68 only four miles from this sign.) The "Northern Route" is signed on US 84 from Railroad Avenue in Española to this point south of Cebolla. I also checked Street View in a bunch of other places in New Mexico where modern roads more-or-less follow the trail on the NPS map, but I didn't see any more Old Spanish Trail signs.

I just checked GMSV in a bunch of likely places in Colorado as well and only found one signed segment of the Old Spanish Trail. It follows CR 21 north from the New Mexico state line to CR P6 and then turns northwest onto CR P6 toward San Luis. GMSV is spotty or nonexistent in numerous areas along the OS Trail (in particular, in Crestone and on CO 114), so it's quite possible there's another signed segment somewhere that I missed.
