A Google earth image from 2600 feet of the same area as the above picture. The many wandering lines right to left are the various paths of the trail. Wagons often ran up to four abreast for safety as well as for cutting down on erosion. The wildly meandering dark line is a much later and now defunct canal.
Someone was/is in love. This fence outside Cimarron, Kansas has a lot of cut out disks hanging on the fence.
