Choose Your Historical Marker
The design features one of two iconic sign styles used for SH 81 before 1948, reflecting the evolution of Texas highway markers.
Option 1: The Texas Outline
This design showcases a bold black silhouette of the state of Texas set against a white background. Inside the outline, a prominent black number "81" indicates the highway's designation. The word "TEXAS" is either inside the outline or below it, further identifying its origin. This design represents the earliest days of SH 81's presence on Texas highway maps in the 1920s.
Option 2: The Circle-in-Square
This design utilizes a classic, standardized highway shield from the 1930s and 1940s. A black square frames a white circle, which in turn features a bold black "81." Beneath the number, the word "TEXAS" is displayed. This design represents a time of increasing standardization in highway signage, reflecting a consistent visual language across the state.
The Legacy of the Road
These designs represent the original Texas highway shields used for SH 81 before 1948. They provide a visual link to the past, reminding us of the historical roads that helped shape the state we know today.
