Among Route 66 enthusiasts, Holbrook is well-known as one of the interesting small towns through which their beloved route passed. Less commonly known is the fact that Holbrook also marked the terminus of two other US routes over a period of nearly 40 years. The photo below is looking south on Navajo Boulevard at Hopi Drive:

This was once westbound US 66, which continued to the right on Hopi. Straight ahead was originally the west beginning of US 70, and then for several years it was the west beginning of US 260. But that designation was eliminated in 1962, when US 180 was extended westward, swallowing up the entirety of what had been US 260.
