#3 What about all the stuff named for Jeff Davis in the Northwest. He led a big RR failure out there before the Civil War.

#5 The U.D.C.'s decision to extend the highway to the Canadian border in the Northwest may seem odd. However, the link is not as odd as it may seem. On May 24, 1941, at the instigation of the U.D.C., a monument marking the northwestern terminus of the Jefferson Davis National Highway was unveiled near the Peace Arch at Blaine, Washington. The memorial was justified on the basis that Jefferson Davis, as U.S. Secretary of War before the Civil War, had obtained appropriations and directed surveys for wagon roads and railroads to the North Pacific Coast.

#7 I believe Jeff Davis Highway is US 1. Certainly it was in Fredericksburg, VA, where I used to live. I don't know if the madness has spread south from Arlington to Fredericksburg.
