This is also shown in the midwest on the 1926 Rand McNally, crossing southern Nebraska. --NE2 16:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

From the Rochester Sentinel, August 4, 1924,[1] the official routing west to Denver was announced:

Ohio: Canton, Mansfield, Marion, Lima, Van Wert
Indiana: Decatur, North Manchester, Rochester, Lake Maxinkuckee, Bass Lake, North Judson, Lowell (used the old Huntington, Manitou and Culver Trail, which went from Lima to Chicago)
Illinois: Grant Park, on Dixie Highway to Momence, Kankakee, Dwight, Streator, Lacon, Princeville, Galesburg, Monmouth
Iowa: Burlington, Fairfield, Ottumwa, Albia, Chariton, Osceola, Creston, Corning, Red Oak
Nebraska: Nebraska City, Lincoln, Hastings, Holdrege, McCook
Colorado: Holyoke, Sterling, Denver

Then the plan was to follow the Old Santa Fe Trail from Trinidad to Los Angeles. [2] says that no plan west of Denver was ever decided on, and has other information.

This is US 30, OH 309, US 30, US 224, IN 5, IN 113, IN 114, US 31, IN 10, US 421, IN 8, IN 2, IL 17, IL 18, IL 179, IL 17, IL 40, IL 90, CR D20, CR 18, US 150, IL 164, US 34, IA 48?, IA 2, CR J34, CR L31, IA 2, NE 2, US 6, unclear between Sterling and Denver, then it probably would have gone US 85 to Santa Fe and somehow (US 66??) to Los Angeles. --NE2 23:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
