This 600-by-66-foot (183 by 20 m) section of abandoned roadway was part of the original Lincoln Highway route.
 It was abandoned when a curve was straightened in 1920.
This section was a part of the roadway that went past the farmstead of Capt.
Albert Head, an early promoter of the highway who made significant monetary contributions to its development.
 Head also contributed toward the construction of a nearby bridge, no longer extant.
 While the bridge's construction in 1914 straightened part of the roadway, motorists still had to negotiate a tight curve immediately south of the bridge.
 The realignment removed this curve, but kept the roadway close to the farmsteads.

The abandoned section lays perpendicular to the west from County Road E53.
 It is located on a grass incline, and the old grade and cut banks are clearly visible.
The old roadway is no longer used for any purpose, and the grade and cut banks are covered with mowed grass.
A partially buried concrete headwall of a driveway culvert is located at the top of the incline.
 Its design and materials are consistent with other culverts along the old highway.
