Highway History:
1953: OK 58 began at U.S. 277 in Cyril at today's U.S. 277/OK 19 intersection. OK 58 went west along current OK 19 to today's OK 19/OK 58 intersection, then the highway turned to the north along the same path it takes today to what was U.S. 66/OK 1 in Hydro.

1959: By this time, OK 19 had been built, so the southern terminus was truncated to the OK 58/OK 19 intersection. The highway had not been extended south to OK 49 at this time.

Highway Review:
The southern OK 58 begins at OK 49 between Medicine Park and Interstate 44. Almost fourteen miles north of OK 49, OK 58 meets OK 19 and heads west, then north with OK 19 for about five miles. Twelve miles later, OK 58 heads through its first town, Carnegie. After traveling through the town of Alfalfa, OK 58 heads east on OK 152 for two miles before splitting. Seventeen miles later, OK 58 heads parallel with Interstate 40 for a few blocks, then the highway heads north and goes through Hydro. After heading through Hydro, the highway winds its way to the Custer/Blaine County line, where the highway finds its northern terminus.

	Interstate 40 West/OK 58 North shields just west of the westbound I-40 off-ramp. The I-40 shield is signed in error, however - the sign should indicate that this road is TO I-40, not the actual interstate! This sign assembly has since been corrected, as the bottom picture shows.

NORTHERN TERMINUS
Custer/Blaine Co. Line, north of Hydro

	"END OK 58" and "State Maintenance Ends" signage as OK 58 North concludes. The northern OK 58 begins less than ten miles north of here. (Photo taken 4/9/04)
	OK 58 South assurance shield as OK 58 South begins. Interstate 40 is ten miles ahead. (Photo taken 4/9/04)
	From the end of OK 58 North, if you continue straight ahead, the road will take you to OK 54. This OK 54 shield appears about two miles west of the northern end of OK 58. I have no evidence that this road was ever signed as OK 54, or as anything for that matter. But most of the road between the end of OK 58 and OK 54 is a good road, as all of it is paved and most of it is striped. (Photo taken 4/9/04)
