JUAN BAUTISTA DE ANZA
National Historic Trail
 |
| Anza's 1775-1776 route |
From 1775-76 Juan Bautista de Anza lead
240 emigrants 1200 miles from Mexico to California and this National
Historic Trail established in 1990 preserves the route in a
collection of driving/hiking recreational paths. Much of the trail
passes through Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties in
little known "who-knew" pockets of history.
The national park service has posted a
very cool interactive mapping tool online and is asking you to assist
in documenting and drawing attention to the Anza Trail. Just go to
the MapCollaborator site and upload your photos, data and comments. An online tutorial shows how. Once approved by NPS
staff, entered data will be shared on the web.
