Abstract
Route 66 was built using existing trail and road segments along the 35th Parallel Route including the Beale Wagon Road, Santa Fe Trail, and National Old Trails Road. The resulting features and structural remains along this transportation corridor create many evaluation challenges to archaeologists and preservationists alike. This paper presents three case studies and gives examples of the types of buildings, structures, and features commonly found along the route today.
