JEFFERSON HIGHWAY ORIGINAL ROUTE

Click HERE or on the picture to the right to see a Google Map of the original route of the Jefferson Highway through North West Missouri.   The map was developed from 1917 to 1926 plat books, USGS Topographic maps and officially published Jefferson Highway maps that were developed between 1916 and 1929.  In some areas the routes changed over the years due to either improving or degrading roads.  Several of those alternate changed routes are visible in this map.

He wrote down some comments about road conditions and published them in the monthly Jefferson Highway newsletter called "The Declaration"  He added specific mile measurements to his comments.  We've taken the notes and located the exact locations he was referring to.  Those notes are added as push pins on this map so you can read what the comments were as well as see the stretch of road he was talking about.
