Wet/Dry Routes Markers
With their indepth research of the Santa Fe Trail, the Wet/Dry Routes Chapter felt some sites and trails needed more information. With this in mind the Chapter has placed in prominent locations along the Santa Fe Trail, "Interpretive Markers" to do just that. On these pages you will find a photo of the markers and the text placed on them.
Small Drain
The Wet Route
SMALL DRAIN South of this location near the Arkansas River was Small Drain, one of several campsites identified in an 1842 itinerary published by Charles Folsom. The campsite was so named for the cut visible in the ridge a short distance to the northwest of this point.
