Cuervo New Mexico was established in 1901 when the CRI & P Railroad came through. The town later started to grow when the surrounding land was opened to cattle ranching. When Route 66, the “Mother Road” came in the 1940’s the town’s population peaked at over 300. When interstate 40 came into town, actually through the center of town, knocking down houses and tearing up roads, poor old Cuervo couldn’t survive. It’s pretty much a ghost town now, except for a few remaining hardy souls who still call Cuervo home.

The Mining community of Calico California became a town in 1881, filled with prospectors searching for riches. Silver was king in this area and Calico produced $86 million over its run. There were over 500 mines in the area driving Calico's wealth between 1881 and 1907. When the price of silver dropped by half in 1907, Calico was doomed. Calico has been preserved and is now operated as a County Regional Park in San Bernadino County, and is one of the few remaining original mining towns in the US today. It is located just off of the 15, North of Barstow.

Harpers Ferry is a historic town in West Virginia. It is situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers where the states of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia meet. Harpers Ferry is best known for John Brown's raid on the Armory in 1859 and its role in the American Civil War. The Civil War was disastrous for Harpers Ferry, which changed hands eight times between 1861 and 1865. Because of the town's strategic location on the railroad and at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, both Union and Confederate troops moved through Harpers Ferry frequently.

Route 66, also known as the Will Rogers Highway or known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road, was one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926, with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, to California, covering a total of 2,448 miles. Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, and it was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985, after it had been replaced in its entirety by the Interstate Highway System. These images are from the California portion of the road from Barstow to the Nevada State line.

The Salton Sea is a shallow, saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault, predominantly in California's Imperial and Coachella valleys. One of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at -227 below sea level, Salton Sea was re-created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed downward into the Salton Trough. By the time engineers were finally able to stop the breaching water in 1907, the Salton Sea had been born at 45 miles long and 20 miles wide – equaling about 130 miles of shoreline.
