University of Arizona Library -- Special Collections Pamphlet and Travel Brochures -- Roads The National Old Trails Highway is part of the original transcontinental highway made up of the old Santa Fe Trail and the Great Spanish Trail. Touring motorists took to emerging transcontinental highways such as the Lincoln Memorial Highway, the Yellowstone Trail, and the National Old Trails Highway.

Santa Fe Trail Report The old trail, as first surveyed through this region in 1825, was the route along the north side of the Arkansas river. The line from Westport passed near the old Shawnee Mission. From near Lenexa the trails passed over one route southwest through Olathe and Gardner, across Bull creek and into Douglas county. www.kancoll.org /books/sftrail/sfmain.html

Arrowhead Trails Highway Lincoln Highway promoters often sought to belittle the the prospects of the Arrowhead and were doubtless involved in the attempt to prevent the United States Army from including it on their new national defense highway network. The Arrowhead Trails Highway was born in late 1913 and early 1914 when Las Vegas Age newspapermen and members of the local chamber of commerce began advocating an "all-the-year" highway route through their town. This highway followed the old southern route wagon road from Los Angeles to San Bernardino and up the old toll road through Cajon Pass. www.wemweb.com /arduous-road/arrowhead_trails.html

Route 66 the Great American Highway Route 66 is the National Old Trails Highway. These old trails, blazed by the mountain men, were generally all that existed for the immigrant wagon trains that followed shortly after. The west was being opened and from trails such as the Santa Fe Trail, Jedediah Smith’s route across the Mojave Desert to San Bernardino and Beale’s Wagon Road across New Mexico and Arizona a transportation corridor began to emerge. www.theroadwanderer.net /route66.htm

Highway 395 History Highway 88 all the way across the Sierra is a nice route which passes the Kirkwood ski area. Before the Interstate Highway system brought fast, limited access highways to the United States, there was, and still remains, another nationwide system of highways that enabled travelers to follow standardized routes to any part of the nation. Highway 108 is the road from Sonora to Highway 395, a little north of Bridgeport. www.395.com /highwayhistory.shtml

Madonna of the Trail In 1911, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution established a national committee known as the National Old Trails Road Committee whose work was, primarily, to definitely establish the Old Trails Road as a great National Memorial Highway. This idea further developed into plans for a highway to be designated as the National Old Trails Road, by Act of Congress, and the work of marking was carried on in conjunction with the National Old Trails Road Association. These monuments were erected in each of the 12 states through which the National Old Trails Road passes. www.ipfw.edu /ipfwhist/indiana/madonna.htm

The National Old Trails Road - Part 1: The Quest for a National Road Section 4 of 7 The National Old Trails Road Ocean-to-Ocean Highway roughly followed Washington's and Braddock's route west of Cumberland. An amendment was offered to amend the association's constitution to adopt the Grand Canyon Route between Santa Fe and the Pacific Coast as the official route of the National Old Trails Road. The National Highways Association was incorporated in the District of Columbia in early 1912, with Judge Lowe as a Vice-President. www.fhwa.dot.gov /infrastructure/trailsc.htm

Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway Competing with its more famous cousins the Lincoln Highway and the National Old Trails Road well before the national numbered routes existed, the PP-OO, as its markers laebeled it, has fallen into obscurity, virtually unknown even to residents of the cities and towns along the old route. While the Lincoln Highway was largely followed by the new US route 30 and the National Road became US 40, the PP-OO was given fragments of many routes, with many segments of the old road not assigned to a US route at all. In the early days the PP-OO highway followed the same route as the National Old Trals Road in the East, beginning in Washington, D.C. and New York. www.prairienet.org /us36

Historic US Highways in Washington: US-99 The federal government built the Pacific Highway over part of the old road in 1915, at a time before route numbers when America was crisscrossed by "auto trails" with names like the Lincoln Highway, the Dixie Highway, and the National Old Trails Road. In 1926, when the foundation of the U.S. Highway System spelled death for the quaintly named auto trails, the Pacific Highway got a new identity: from Blaine to Los Angeles, it would be known as US Highway 99. Under that name, the highway would be the unquestioned choice for anyone wishing to travel by road between the major cities of Washington, Oregon, and California for the next forty years. www.phenry.org /wsh/oldus/oldus99.html

Madonna of the Trail Monuments - Ohio The Madonnas were supposed to be placed on the shoulders of the National Old Trails Highway.

When a highway interchange for U.S. Routes 40 & 68 was built in 1956-57, the monument was moved to its current location. www.route40.net /history/madonnas/oh.shtml
