State Route 84A or what is known today as West Miracle Mile in Tucson, Arizona, was designated a state route for a decade in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s to connect State Route 84 to U.S. Route 80 and 89. This alternative route was used as an in-town route to connect the future freeway to downtown Tucson. When Interstate 10 in the Tucson area was being constructed, this route was the designation of Temporary I-10. After I-10 was built, this route was dropped from the state highway list and turned over to the City of Tucson. It is currently used by a different state route, SR 77.

“Know that, on the right hand of the Indies, there is an island called California, very near to the Terrestrial Paradise, which was peopled with black women.... Their arms were all of gold.”

“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
