Questions
Is there an accepted method for trying to list relatively minor historical changes to the route of the highway? Somewhere in the middle of the 20th century the route of Rt12 changed fairly substantially through both Keene, NH and Walpole, NH (and probably others). It's not clear to me if that belongs on this page, should have a page of its own or just isn't appropriate.

I don't currently have the tools to provide an overlay of the current path through Keene on this map but as an example, here is a link to both the 1935 and 1958 USGS maps of the Keene area:

http://docs.unh.edu/NH/keen35ne.jpg and http://docs.unh.edu/NH/keen58ne.jpg

Much of the current Rt 12/Rt 9 path doesn't exist at all in this map, both highways were re-routed around the center of the city at some point (early 60's I believe) and I'd like to try and get some of that information into either this page or the appropriate place.

 * Routing changes are definitely appropriate here. You can probably just add it to the existing History section. --Polaron | Talk 17:15, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay. My initial thought was that what I had in mind to add was too detailed to be appropriate at the level of this article but perhaps it's best to lay it out and then look to break it down later it it seems warranted... Dan Reagan (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
