Geocache Description:

Many times the Old Wire Road and the Butterfield Overland Mail route overlapped across the country.

On a time line, the two and one-half year operation (1857-1861) of the Butterfield Overland Mail was but a flash in the history of transportation in the United States. But this short-lived operation captured and held the imagination of Americans because it stitched together the growing country from sea to sea. Type Butterfield Stage Route-Missouri into Google maps to see the stagecoach routes of the Butterfield Overland Mail.

Congrats to chuck80196 for the FTF.
