Due to the efforts of many people, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has Junior Wagon Master: Clark . 10 decided on the four-lane highway option that does the least damage to the Point of Archives and Collections: Ol- Rocks, instead of the once-proposed 60-foot median.

A retaining wall of false rock which will blend in with the existing rock will help Wagon Bed Spring: French . 14 retain the formation. The Dodge City sign will also survive. The nearly two-year preservation effort was a collaboration between SFTA’s Dodge City/Fort Dodge/Cimarron Chapter and the Great Western Cattle Trail Association as Columns well as local city commissions. SFTA Chapter President Bill Bunyan stated, “Special thanks go to Gary Kraisinger of the Great Western Cattle Trail Association who put Book: Warrior Nations: Staf- the petition on the internet to save the Point of Rocks. Also, special thanks to State ford . 23 Representatives Ron Ryckman Sr., Bud Estes, John Ewy and State Senator Garrett Love and County Commissioners Shawn Tasset, Chris Boys and Danny Gillum who backed our efforts.” Chapter Vice President Mike Strodtman was also fully involved and Bill Bunyan did six TV interviews plus radio and newspaper interviews.

A good example of this is in the vicinity of present-day Larned, Kansas. Going west in 1825, Sibley’s diary clearly describes camping at and crossing the Pawnee Fork a mile above its mouth (K. Gregg, p 73), approximately where present-day Hwy 56 crosses the Pawnee River just southwest of downtown Larned. The location of that camp is confirmed by the map Brown prepared in Taos in November 1825, which Sibley then sent to Benjamin Reeves November 13, 1825 (K. Gregg, p 115; The State Historical Society of Missouri, Abiel Leonard Papers, Collection No. 1013, Folder 34). On the return trip east in 1826, the route was apparently “corrected” because the map in the Field Book clearly coincides with crossing the Pawnee Fork at present-day Larned State Hospital. 15. K.
