While searching the Internet for a story recently, I ran across a map and GPS waypoints showing the old Butterfield Overland Mail and Stagecoach route from St. Louis or Memphis to San Francisco and specifically, the route the stage took through southeast Oklahoma from Fort Smith, Arkansas to Denison, Texas.
