By the late 1930s, it wound its way from the shores of Lake Michigan, across the rolling hills of the Missouri Ozarks, through the open plains of Oklahoma, to the open ranch lands of Texas, over the enchanted mesas of New Mexico, to the Mojave Desert. It finally ended in the “land of milk and honey” on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Over the past century, iconic sites and kitschy images from along the Route have woven their way into the collective tapestry of America.
