The Ozark Trail was a network of many local roads and highways. They were made by the Ozark Trails Association. These trails were created before the United States federal highway system. The roads went through St. Louis, Missouri, El Paso, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.[1] These roads were made by Americans and local communities. The U.S. government built one road. In 1923, the government built the Newcastle Bridge Newcastle, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City. This was the first federal highway project in Oklahoma.[2]
These roads were the main highways in this area until U.S. Highway 66 was built.
