Every route holds at least ten stops and stays under two and a half miles. Routes are computed from the coordinates in the National Park Service National Register spatial data, and the distances are straight lines between stops. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed September 19, 2026.
