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.

The Post-1859 Dry Route

PAWNEE FORK CROSSING
OF THE SANTA FE TRAIL'S
DRY ROUTE
At this point, a branch of the Santa Fe Trail's Dry Route crossed the Pawnee River and continued up the south bank to the mail station and nearby Fort Larned. At a later date, another branch of the Dry Route followed the north bank of the river to the fort.
