+'''Connecting Routes''' Over time the Old Roebuck Road connected with half a dozen other migration routes out of Boston:
+:*[[Bay Road]] connects [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] (Massachusetts Bay) to [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]] (Buzzards Bay).
+:*[[Coast Path]] follows an ancient Indian path near the shoreline from [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] to [[Plymouth, Massachusetts|Plymouth]].
+:*[[Kennebunk Road]] links [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] along the New England coast to [[Augusta, Maine]].
+:*[[King's Highway]] also known as the Boston Post Road goes from [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], Massachusetts to New York City, and south to [[Charleston County, South Carolina|Charleston, South Carolina]] with extensions on each end. In Massachusetts and Connecticut there were at least three competing routes for the Boston Post Road. Parts were laid out 1650 to 1735; its length remained in heavy use through 1783, and some parts are used to this day.
+:*[[Mohawk or Iroquois Trail]] This trail was established in 1722 from [[Albany, New York|Albany]] to [[Utica, New York|Utica]] to [[Rome, New York|Rome]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Oswego Fort Oswego] on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ontario Lake Ontario]. The [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] to Albany side of that route probably preceded the Albany to Oswego route by many years.
+:*[[Old Connecticut Path]] a pre-historic Indian path from [[Boston, Massachusetts]] to the Connecticut River Valley at [[Springfield, Massachusetts]] and south to [[Hartford, Connecticut]] .
