Old Military Road was one of the earliest known trails in the Texas Panhandle. Flint-pierced mastodon bones show that prehistoric men traveled this valley before Indians were here. In 1875, the U.S. Army came this way to Fort Elliott at Mobeetie, 30 miles southwest. Mail routes and stagecoaches used this trail from 1878 to 1890.
