Mile marker 994 can't be right in Presidio. The highest mile markers are found at the northern or eastern ends of a U.S. or Interstate highway. The Mexican border would be the southern or western end of US 67 where the markers would start counting from 0. If you have a picture of this mile 994, I would very much like to see it.
lucky for me the BP did not stop me for pulling over at the sign to take a picture as I was perilously close from the port of entry, within only throwing distance. By the way , at 1:48, you will see the border patrol checkpoint (mm 938.5) only 4 1/2 miles south of Marfa/US 90. I was detained there for 10-12 minutes. What? is it wrong to drive to random places and take pictures of road signs? that is like art to me.
If I am correct, the highest mile marker is mile marker 994 on US Hwy. 67 in Presidio (going north by the intersection of Howard St.) , that is the highest mile marker in the United States. On the interstate system it's 880 on I-10 in Orange, Texas. US 67 when joined by US 90 in Marfa going east uses US 67's mile markers counting down from mile 934.

I WAS RIGHT! (994) the highest mile marker on a federal (US) highway, so much for mile marker 880 on I-10 Orange, Texas. went to Presidio, 10-8-2011.
