Randall County - Texas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

There are apparently FOUR state historical markers for Randall County. One is a 1936 centennial granite rock marker at the courthouse. The other three are small plates located at rest areas at several entries to the city on US highways.

This particular Randall County state historical marker is located along the US60/87 north of town, on the west side access road to the US 60. It looks to Blasterz like this marker is located in what was once a rest area, but which was later consumed by freeway expansion and re-configuring.

ED NOTE:
BB (Benchmark Blasterz), have posted north and south, mine is west...the east marker has not been submitted as of June 2019.
BB has written THC to correct. Until a reply we will use the same number on all with a note that officially it belongs to north location.
This is the actual 4187. -Questermark
