Abstract:A look at a road atlas from the early 1920's would reveal a complete network of named trails crisscrossing the country. The Lincoln Highway, from New York City to San Francisco, was the best known road of its day. Other well-known routes included the: Dixie Highway (Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to Miami, Florida), Meridian Highway (Winnipeg, Canada, to Laredo, Texas), National Old Trails Road (Baltimore, Maryland, to Los Angeles, California) National Park to Park Highway (a circle route linking western National Parks), Victory Highway (New York City to San Francisco), and Yellowstone Trail (Boston, Massachusetts, to Seattle, Washington). This is a history of the Dixie Highway, or U.S. Route 80.
