The '''Ozark Trail''' was a network of locally maintained roads and highways that predated the advent of the [[United States]] federal highway system. The roads ran more from [[St. Louis, Missouri]], to [[El Paso, Texas]], over a series of routes [http://www.marion.ohio-state.edu/fac/schul/trails/national/ozark.html]. These roads were maintained by both private citizens and local communities. In one case, however, the US Federal Government got involved: the Ozark Trail bridge over the South [[Canadian River]] between [[Newcastle, Oklahoma]], and [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma|Oklahoma City]] was the first federal highway project built in [[Oklahoma]], in [[1925]].
