All photos from this state were taken by Michael Summa in 1984, with one exception from 1978. The photo atop the page was on US 98 WB.


Also on US 98 westbound, check out the wires holding those signs up. I wonder how those signs behaved in the hurricane winds that occasionally lash the state.


Now on I-59 NB, the exit tabs are button copy but the rest of the signs aren't. They're still old, though of course 1984 signs would look old even when new.


Over to the other north-south Interstate in Mississippi, with some true button copy.


I-20 WB approaching that multiplex, with more button copy.


The one you've been waiting for, the old generation of Mississippi route shield, taken in 1978. The signpost was already atilt then, so it probably didn't have much longer to live before being replaced by the state circle.
