Natchitoches Trace - Original route in brown

Route and History

A trail that ran from St. Louis Missouri to Fulton Arkansas on the Red River which was the border between Mexico and the United States. Originally a Indian trail, it became the primary route to Texas for American pioneers. If your ancestors traveled to Texas from the upper mid-west or east coast, they likely took this route.
