Military Road-Cadron Segment
The Military Road-Cadron Segment is a portion of 19th-century roadway in Faulkner County, Arkansas, near the city of Conway. It consists of an original section of a military road built in the mid-1830s between Little Rock and the military outpost at Fort Smith, through what was then frontier territory. It is one of the only known surviving sections of the early military roads that crossed the Arkansas Territory, which is located west of Little Rock. The road is further notable as one of the routes by which Native Americans were relocated to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) from points east of the Mississippi River.[2]
