The state's biggest oddball highway, this 3/4-loop around
Lake Murray has four different endpoints, as shown in the close-up
map at top right. As a result, it is the only highway in the state that
not only do not have directional markers (North, South, etc.), but
cannot! All four endpoints are listed here.
Northwestern Terminus: corner of 10th Ave SE & Lake Murray Dr., southern Ardmore
Left: 'End' sign, looking north. Right: first assurance sign, looking south, taken from the same spot. Map suggested the road goes all the way to downtown and OK-199. However, the end sign actually appears about a mile to the south and does not extend into downtown.
Northeastern Terminus: US-70, northeast of Lake Murray
Barricade in front of the Stop
sign due to a planned four-laning of US-70 in this area that is still two
lanes.
Southwestern Terminus: I-35 Exit 24, Overbrook
Northwestern Terminus: corner of 10th Ave SE & Lake Murray Dr., southern Ardmore

Left: southbound at the end of the I-35 off-ramp. Note
the lack of directional signage for 77S.
Right: westbound, looking back towards I-35.
Southeastern Terminus: OK-32, east of Marietta
More of a true southern terminus instead of southeastern, but I'm going for consistency here.
