New Mexico US Route 160 highway marker sign

Description

Of the five states US Route 160 crosses, it spends by far the least amount in New Mexico, barely clipping the state’s northwest corner. Only about ⅞ of a mile (1434 m) of the route is within the Land of Enchantment! However, US 160 does have one very important junction in New Mexico—that with State Road 597, also known as Four Corners Road. This is the access road to the Four Corners Monument, the exact point where the state lines of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado all meet. Every day, hundreds trek to this remote area for the unique experience of existing in four states at once.

Celebrate your adventure through the legendary Four Corners region with this New Mexico US Route 160 sign—crafted for travelers, collectors, and history lovers alike! Expertly recreated to match the original 1926 federal specifications, this design was never actually found along the road back in the day—it didn’t receive its current number until 1970, long after the state name had been removed from US Route signs. (Even if signs had been posted in this style, they would cost thousands, because this short stretch of highway only requires about six signs at one time!) This sign will make a great conversation piece to show your love for northwest New Mexico!

This sign is flat-printed on heavy-gauge steel for exceptional durability and authenticity. Each sign is made with unsurpassed quality right here in the USA. Every font, curve, and layout detail has been meticulously matched to the historical standard. Unlike cheap tin knockoffs with incorrect typefaces or sloppy proportions, this sign delivers true collector-grade craftsmanship. It looks so accurate that even seasoned highway-sign enthusiasts will want to inspect it up close! It’s available in the following sizes:

• 12⅜ in. × 12 in. (scaled down to make a perfect accent piece to your decor)
• 16½ in. × 16 in. (the original size found on the highways of New Mexico in 1926)
• 24¾ in. × 24 in. (the size of most modern-day route markers)
• 37⅛ in. × 36 in. (a size used in the present day when visibility is crucial)
