Actually, I can,t see that 57 sign in the aerial pictures. Are already there any remains of these giant numbers in that hill?

From what I can recall, there are no remains of any 57. I have read that they were placed all over the United States, from Horseshoe Curve in Pennsylvania, to Helper, Utah. All pictures that I have found are from pre 1950. You may be interested to know that the hill was also home to quite a few signs over the years.

Update: As promised, I have some more pictures!
Here's another photo of the same hill, taken a bit earlier.

If the 57 was here today, it would be right above the roundabout in the centre of the photo.
Here's the hill today from Google Street View.
