(January 8, 1931-Late 1980)
NORTH End: Lake Park, Dickinson County
Facing south on 219
When I went to Lake Park, I asked the people at City Hall for help in pinpointing 219's old north end. They believed it was here, at the north end of the business district; Michael Ehret confirmed it. This picture looks south at what would have been 219's first block. The final route log gives a distance that is shorter than the distance from this point to IA 9, indicating that the north end may have changed a time or two.
SOUTH End: Stop sign, IA 9 and M27, Dickinson County
Facing south on 219
This LGS includes two destinations actually on 9, instead of towns that aren't on the route.

In the background across the road you can see new development. Lake Park is benefiting from the booming population in the Iowa Great Lakes area and is steadily creeping south toward Highway 9.
