The Smoky Hill Trail was a famous immigrant and stage road extending from the Missouri River to Denver. It was traversed by pioneers in 1858 and surveyed by W.G. Russell in 1860. It served as the route of Butterfield's Overland Despatch and Wells Fargo Express, and it took a human toll through death by thirst and Indian raids.
