Chisholm Trail

The Chisholm Trail is a cattle trail in which 10 million cattle, 1 million horse and 35 thousand cowboys used to drive cattle to Kansas.  The cattle were then shipped from Kansas to the Eastern United States to fulfill their demand for beef. 

The old trail passes through the western edge of Mustang and there are 13 Chisholm Trail Markers located in the Mustang Public School District.  Some traces of the trail are still visible in areas where the sod ground has not seen the plow.

Mustang is proud of its Chisholm Trail Heritage and this map was created to show the locations of each marker as well as the depressions left behind from those who traveled the trail so long ago.
