California Road Marker
Opened in the Spring of 1849, this road was first traveled by gold seekers in the rush for California. This historic trail crossed Roger Mills county, moving directly across the present site of Cheyenne. It continued to be used as an immigration trail to California and as a cattleman’s way to northern markets from the grazing plains of Texas.
