ROUTE EASTBOUND ODOMETER CHART
HOW TO USE THESE CHARTS
Numbers indicate the mileage eastbound from the control station, or
zero point, at the west end of the subject section. All mileages are
scaled from the quadrangle maps of the United States Geological
Survey. The tourist must allow for small mileage corrections within
each section because of the inherent accumulating errors of the
typical car odometer.
The zero milepost at the Ohio/Indiana state line is
also the "zero" point for the eastbound tour of the Lincoln Highway
across Ohio. The Ohio Department of Transportation places similar
milepost signs along every state and federal highway in Ohio, with
mileages being measured from either west-to-east, or from
south-to-north, based on the roadway distance from the county line. If
a route begins within a particular county (not entering the county at
a county line), the zero milepost is placed at the beginning point of
that route. For those tourists who will be faithfully using these
odometer charts, the twenty mileposts of U.S. Route 30 in Hancock
County (mileposts 0 thru 19) provide an excellent
opportunity for you to calibrate the odometer of your vehicle.
