Ozark Trail Monument (Lake Arthur, New Mexico) by courthouselover.

 

 

Located in the middle of downtown Lake Arthur, New Mexico

These Ozark Trail markers were placed all around the country, or at least in five different states, in the 20s when many automobile enthusiasts were pushing for the improvement of American highways. They were placed in communities for travelers on the trails to use to find out their distance from the next towns on the route. All of the trails lead to or connected up with route that went to the Ozark Mountains. Many of these routes have become federal highways today.
