Oregon Trail

Here are some really cool websites that will help you with your research and learning on the Oregon Trail and your study of Westward movement.


I Googled Oregon Trail Maps.

History Globe.com
This had simple touch points with photos or drawings and 1-2 paragraphs to read. http://www.historyglobe.com/ot/otmap1.htm

Oregon Trail History Library
http://www.endoftheoregontrail.org/histhome.html

A topographical map of the Oregon Trail that gets you to the site above:

Old copies of Oregon Trail Maps and posts: Hand sketched. I think they are cool.

Please share any cool websites that you see that could go along with the Oregon Trail.
Thanks.
