  • Ii.2. Meridian Highway (Sh 2) – Us 81 – Ih 35/35W
    The Development of Highways in Texas: A Historic Context of the Bankhead Highway and Other Historic Named Highways II.2. MERIDIAN HIGHWAY (SH 2) – US 81 – IH 35/35W INTRODUCTION The Meridian Highway historically has been the major north–south named highway in Texas since the early 1910s. As originally conceived by the International Meridian Road Association in 1911, it stretched from Canada to Mexico, extending through the nation’s mid-section and the expansive Great Plains region. It initially was planned to enter Texas near Burkburnett and continued south through Wichita Falls, Bowie, Fort Worth, Cleburne, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and Laredo. A major lateral, called the Gulf Division, was planned to extend from Waco to Galveston, passing through Marlin, Bryan, Hempstead, and Houston. (See Figure 164.) With the creation of the Texas Highway Department in 1917, the Meridian Highway in Texas was designated as SH 2, signifying that the Texas Highway Commission deemed it to be the state’s second most important highway at the time, after the Bankhead Highway (SH 1). The adoption of the AASHO interstate highway numbering plan added another designation layer onto the Meridian Highway: US 81. That name, rather than SH 2, has endured over time. However, US 81 did not follow the route proposed by the Meridian Road Association precisely. The creation of US 81 in Texas excluded the Wichita Falls– Bowie leg, which was renamed as US 277 and, later, US 370. The Gulf Division also was excluded from the route of US 81; instead, it became SH 6 and, later, US 75.

Interactive comment Interactive comment on “The abyssal giant pockmarks of the Black Bahama Escarpment: Relations between structures, fluids and carbonate physiography” by Thibault Cavailhes et al. Charles Paull (Referee) [email protected] Received and published: 10 April 2020 The manuscript describes a series of ∼circular depressions at the base of the Bahama Escarpment. These are curious features and their discovery may ultimately merit pub- lication. However, the manuscript more closely resembles a first draft, rather than a Printer-friendly version polished work. As is, the existing draft is too poorly written to fully follow many of the arguments in detail. Part of may be attributed to the challenge of writing in a second Discussion paper language. I have made some suggestions as to how to begin to sharpen the word- ing, but it is an incomplete effort. There are also a number of science related points C1 (also indicate below) that need to be considered before this could be recommended for publication. SED Why are these depressions called pockmarks from the outset? What is actually ob- served are approximately circular depressions. The term ‘pockmark’ has evolved to Interactive imply that the depression was somehow physically excavated by seepage, not phys- comment ical collapse. Moreover, it is not commonly been used in carbonate settings. The manuscript also refers to other similar depressions that have been previously been called plunge pools. This is yet another mechanism for surface erosion.
