Note: Minute Order 113987 prescribed a Removal of Designation (Entire Route) for FS 817. Refer to the Highway Designation File page for FS 817. This is being noted here because the spur connection was originally documented on this page, in conjunction with FM 817, prior to FS 817 being documented on its own unique Highway Designation File page. There were no actions within this Minute Order which affect FM 817 itself.
