Pole and gps in attached picture

The pole is still in use (looks fairly old), but US 30 has rerouted from this street to a newer lane several blocks south. I'm assuming this pole has always been the marker at this spot, because I have no reason to think its been relocated from elsewhere.

The two arrows pointed inward so this must have been a go straight ahead marker. It looks south, toward the current 30 route, but if you would follow it straight for a another block you'd hit a dead end inside a city park / fishing area.
