Types of Markers

Some of the different kinds of markers that can be found along the highways include:
  • official Texas Historical Commission subject markers—silver/black aluminum, 18" x 28" x 42" in height, usually mounted on aluminum posts (TxDOT erects the markers in highway rights of way and provides directional signage to them.)
  • pink granite centennial markers—41"-47" rear height, 24"-30" depth, 30"-36" width with bronze star-in-circle on front and plaque on top
  • gray granite centennial markers—tall with pointed top, engraved text on front, smaller bronze star and wreath on front
  • concrete state boundary markers—cast in shape of Texas on a limestone foundation
  • Blue Star Memorial markers—metal plaques, builder plaques
