See St. George Aviation Navigation Arrows, Utah

Aviation Navigation Arrows were built around St. George, Utah in the 1920s to help pilots find their way through Utah. The first regularly scheduled overland passenger flight in the USA was made by Western Air Express on May 23, 1926, from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. There were four 50 foot concrete arrows in the St. George area, placed every 10 miles, for navigation of mail and passenger planes. The steel posts held coal oil lamps to illuminate the arrows after dark.
