	Interstate 44 East at Exit 1 - U.S. 166/400 West - Baxter Springs, Kansas. The Kansas State Line is located about 1000 feet northwest of this interchange, and the Oklahoma State Line is located just behind where this photo was taken. (Photo taken 11/28/02)
	Interstate 44 West at Exit 1 - U.S. 166/400 West. This is the eastern terminus of both of these U.S. highways. (Photo taken 12/1/02)
	Interstate 44 East at Exit 4 - MO 43 South - Joplin/Seneca. MO 43 joins Interstate 44 for two miles before departing at Exit 6. Several truck stops are located at this interchange. (Photo taken 11/28/02)

	Interstate 44 East at Exit 6 - MO 43 North/Business Loop I-44/MO 86 - Joplin/Racine. The business loop connects to the old U.S. 66 and makes its way back to the interstate nine miles down the road. (Photo taken 11/28/02)

	Interstate 44 East at Exit 8A - Business U.S. 71 South - Range Line Rd. The cloverleaf interchange provides access to the highway that was U.S. 71 up until the mid- 1990s, when the highway was rerouted a few miles to the east. (Photo taken 11/28/02)

	Interstate 44 West at Exits 11A-B - U.S. 71 South/MO 249 North - Neosho/Fort Smith, AR/Joplin. Such a large BGS for a skinny sign gantry! MO 249 is so named because this stretch of highway will probably become Interstate 49 in the future. (Photo taken 12/1/02)
