Identifying and Preserving the Southern Trails to California.
Overview
The Southern Trails Chapter of OCTA is dedicated to studying and preserving a network of early migration and trade routes that led through the southwestern states to California. One of the major trail systems in this area is known as the Southern Trail. Its variants originate in Oklahoma and Texas and pass through New Mexico and Arizona, terminating in Southern California. The Southern Trails Chapter is working toward gaining National Historic Trail status for this route. Won’t you join us?
