This review is from: Maps of the Santa Fe Trail (Hardcover)

Couldn't get much more direct without having the directions placed in your GPS for you. Realize before you buy that this book was written in 1989 and that 20 year old maps may become dated as Interstates as well as the county roads change over time.

I have all three books of this type (Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails). The information is worth its weight in gold.

Other than the books age, the only pitfall that I see with the maps is that they do not incorporate all of the known sites worth visiting. It would have been nice to include all of the DAR markers along the trail and since they are not always placed on the trail, not all are easy to find.

This review is from: Maps of the Santa Fe Trail (Hardcover)

This is a very comprehensive collection of maps of the Santa Fe Trail detailing each section (township) of the Trail, including all branches, i.e. Cimarron Cutoff, Mountain Branch, Fort Union, Aubrey, etc. A must-have book for any serious student of the Santa Fe Trail, including pictures and descriptions of important locations then and now.
