Notes: “The primary route of the Santa Fe Trail and its two main branches (the Cimarron cutoff and the Mountain branch), as well as the principal side trails, have been mapped, and total of 164 historic sites and landmarks, plus 28 cross-country segments where wagon ruts are still evident, have been initially identified as significant.  Under the proposed plan official markers would be placed along the historic route to permanently establish the location of the trail  in many places where no visible ruts or other traces remain, as well as along the visible part of the route.  Markers would also be placed along existing public roads, developed rights-of-way, or similar man-made features that approximate the historic route.  No markers would be erected on privately owned land without the owner’s consent. ” (From the Summary) (n.b. 90% of the historical trail is in private hands)
