Many of the routes taken back in the 1800 are the very same routes that we
take today only they are smootehr than back then. Every Genealogist should
have an Atlas and maps of each Country and all of the States. AAA gives
them out free to its members and if you don't have them you can also order
them from Rand McNally online. You can get county maps also. I have maps
showing how my ancestors travelled from Point A to Point B and so on until
they finally stopped moving around.


=========================================================

There is, in my archives, a copy of a colonial map entitled "Sentier de
guerre entre le térritoire des Illinois et le térritoire des Iroquois" (Warpath
between Illini territory and Iroquois territory).

This is the route (starting in Montreal):

10 E to Laprairie
15 S to Champlain
87 S to Albany
90 W to Buffalo
271 & 71 S to Columbus
270 W to Dayton
70 W to Indianapolis
55 S to Saint Louis

The cities are now on superhighways, that replaced highways, that replaced
roadways, that replaced pathways.
