The number was replaced around 1926 with the implementation of the U.S. highway system.

One segment ran from
South Dakota Highway 25 north of De Smet, toU.S. Highway 81 south of Lake Poinsett; the second segment extended fromU.S. Highway 77 east to the Minnesota border. These two segments were connected by 1960.The western terminus was pulled back to U.S. 77 (I-29) by 1965.
