What were auto trails?
Auto trails were a system of roads prior to the creation of numbered routes. For a list, go to http://www.marion.ohio-state.edu/fac/schul/trails/trails.html ; for a 1923 map, go to http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/midgetmap.htm . At least three auto trails have their own webpages: The Lincoln Highway ( http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~jlin/lincoln/ – see also 17.1), the Dixie Highway ( http://www.us-highways.com/dixiehwy.htm ), and the National Road ( http://www.route40.net/ ). Some unofficial state websites also have auto trail sections (see Section 5).
