...and this post office graces another. Not much is needed for a town whose population is 28.

The brown sign is for Lake Icaria County Park. "End 95" probably would have been between it and the LGS. Neil Bratney says old 95 and the road ahead are N28, which makes it an anomaly because it's a north-south-lettered road going east-west for about 10 miles. No signs indicate the designation here, though.

As like the north end of IA 46, the other signs at the intersection were left behind. Maps up to and including 2002 broke up IA 148's mileage here, in part because the route remained secret IA 951 for 11 years after decommissioning.

Gov. Daniel W. Turner, born in Corning, served one two-year term (1931-33) and is best known for being governor during the Cow War.
Last seen: 1982 (1981 map) (as IA 95)
This map shows three things: 1) IA 95; 2) IA 155, decommissioned in 1980 but still on the map; and 3) the break in US 34's mileage at old IA 186 to Prescottfor the first time post-decommissioning, which remained that way until the 2002 map.
