Indiana State Route 19 runs north-south in north-central Indiana, from Elkhart to Noblesville.  It might as well have two separate sections, because the route takes such a roundabout path to avoid a segment that INDOT abandoned, east of Kokomo.  Diverting east six miles and then back west another eleven miles, State Route 19 is not a route that anyone would drive contiguously.  The northern end is at the Michigan border on the northern edge of Elkhart, and the southern end is at Indiana Routes 32 & 38 in Noblesville, near Indianapolis.

The photo for Indiana Route 19 that I have is a westbound assembly on US Route 35 along its long concurrency with Indiana Route 22, where those two routes cross Indiana Route 13 and pick up Indiana 19 which joins from the north.  After the largely southbound Indiana 19 joins Indiana 18 east for six miles, it heads south on Indiana 13 and then BACK WEST along US Route 35 and Indiana Route 22 for eleven miles, forming a grotesque detour that INDOT should never have even pitched. This snowy photo was taken in February 2017.
