Route 66 monuments and places named for the road
A small group with the road's own name on it: 24 places in our data are named for Route 66 or are the highway itself, in 7 states. By state: Illinois 5, Missouri 3, Oklahoma 1, Texas 1, New Mexico 3, Arizona 8, California 3.
Some are stretches of the old road that are listed in their own right — U.S. Route 66 near Litchfield, Illinois, the U.S. Route 66–Sixth Street Historic District in Amarillo, Arizona State Route 66 through Peach Springs and California State Route 66 on the way to Pasadena. Others are businesses and landmarks that took the name: the Berwyn Route 66 Museum outside Chicago, Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Route 66 Park in Joplin, the Jack Rabbit Trading Post near Winslow, Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In in Seligman and the 66 Motel in Needles. Nearly all sit right on the road, about 0.0 mi off at most for half of them, so they are easy stops.
Practical hint: drive the listed road segments slowly and stop at a marked turnout for photos; the businesses keep their own hours, so check before you count on a meal or a room.
