North Dakota Highway 1804 route marker sign

Description

North Dakota Highway 1804 serves the towns along the east bank of the Missouri River in North Dakota. Its unusual number signifies the year Lewis and Clark passed through the area on the outbound leg of their expedition to the Pacific Ocean, which explored and mapped the Louisiana Purchase. (There is also a corresponding Highway 1806 on the west bank of the river, in honor of year the explorers made their return trip.) Accordingly, the highway is designated as a part of the Lewis and Clark Trail. Highway 1804 is the second-longest state highway in North Dakota (after North Dakota Highway 200). It links the state capital, Bismarck, to Williston, one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. Along the way it provides access to Lake Sakakawea, a major recreation destination in the area.

Discover a piece of history with this North Dakota Highway 1804 sign, a must-have for collectors and fans of classic highway memorabilia. Drawn to the exact state specifications used from 1961 to 2015, this sign showcases the iconic Indian chief design that has become a symbol of North Dakota’s heritage. As the design is gradually replaced with the new state map style, original pieces like this are increasingly rare—making now the perfect time to secure your own North Dakota Highway 1804 sign.

Made in the USA from heavy-gauge steel with precise, flat-printed graphics, this sign delivers top-tier quality that stands out from cheap reproductions. Every measurement matches the original standard, ensuring a display piece that impresses even the most detail-oriented collectors. The non-reflective finish makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor display, while pre-drilled mounting holes make installation effortless. It is available in the following sizes:

• 12 in. × 9.6 in.
• 20 in. × 16 in.
• 30 in. × 24 in. (the typical size of signs along the route today)
• 40 in. × 32 in. (a size used at locations where high visibility is key)
