Mojave Road
Long ago Mohave Indians used a network of Pathways to cross the Mojave Desert. In 1826 American trapper Jedediah Smith used their Paths and became the first non-Indian to Reach the California coast overland from Mid-America. The paths were worked into a Military wagon road in 1859. This Mojave road remained a major link between Los Angeles And points east until a railroad crossed the Desert in 1883.
