The record for "Lincoln Highway 4" does not say which stretch of road appears, so the numbered title is the main clue to what this view shows. The Lincoln Highway was the first road planned to cross the United States by automobile, linking New York's Times Square with San Francisco over roughly 3,400 miles when it was promoted in 1913. Its backers hoped good roads would spread across the country and drew attention to the route with painted markers and organized tours. Because the photo comes from a Creative Commons Flickr collection, it likely belongs to a series of road views, and the image's detail can tell you what the highway looked like in its early years.
