The above cut shows the route
of the Custer Battlefield Hiway,
the best marked and most scenic
highway to the west, featuring the
trip to the great National Parks.
The Custer Battlefield Highway is
one Of the youngest of the great
Trails, yet it stands today as one
Of the best marked. and having the
best roads of any highway now in
existance.
! t,From the above cut it will he
noted that the Hihway starts at
! Omaha, Nebr., crosses the Missouri
river at Council Bluffs, and north
on the Iowa side to Sioux City, and
through southeastern South Oak
ota to Sioux Falls, where it turns
directly west and travels through
tho entire length of South Dakota,
and on into Wyoming and Montana
to the great Yellowstone and Glac-
ier National Parks. AT the present
time an agitation is rife to have
this highway extended from Sioux
Falls on through to Chicago, thus
shortening the distance from the
Windy city to the National Parks
by over two hundred miles.
One of the features of the c. b.
H. is the scenic granduer that is to
be viewed all along the route and
no other great highway contains
so many ideal places for camping
and fishing, while viewing the mag
nificent works of nature. In the
foregoing map many Of the dcsir-
able sights along the route are no
ted, but SO numerous are these that
it would be impossible to note all
of them on any one map.
Besides the scenery along this
route there will be found no sand
or heavy mountain grades, the roa-
Dis are we'll graded and built up on
an excellent soil. there are no bad
creeks or rivers to ford, plenty Of
water all along the Highway, and
no sand storms to bother the trav
eier. The nights are cool and re-
freshing, plenty of shade and lots
of fishing, with trout abundant all
along after reaching Rapid City.
At the various towns through
which the Highway passes there arc
over one hundred tourists camp
ing grounds. free to the traveller
and at each town is maintained q
tourists information bureau.
kadoka realizes the benefits Of
Z this great Hiway passing through
it, and also realizes that the tour
lists are an asset to the community,
and maintains one of the best and
most up-to-datc tourists camping
grounds to be found at any of the
smaller towns along the entire rou-
te. The park is sloaping, so that
mud wallows are unknown, sun
shades and built in tables and sea-
IS are provided for the visitors,
firewood and water are always ''on
hand during the summer months,
toilets are kept neat and clean,
and the swimming pool is always
ready for the dusty and weary
travellers to refresh themselves in.
The entire grounds are electric Ii
GIFTED until midnight and the peo-
pie of the town and community
are always ready to be of assist
ance and service to those who visit
here. In making the trip over this
Hiway tourists should arrange TO
spend their night at Kadoka, and
remain over dayto enjoy the side
trips provided from this place,
where some of the greatest and
most scenic granduer may be seen
in short trips from this town. To
