Photo 12 of Seminoe Cutoff - Oregon Trail

Photo 12:  Segment “D” of the Seminoe Cutoff, looking west. Segment D begins slightly 
northeast of North Bear Mountain and ends at the 3 Forks-Atlantic City Road. This 11-mile 
long segment’s condition is considered ‘excellent ’: this segment possesses excellent integrity 
of ruts, and mostly excellent integrity of the historical setting around the trail. The historical 
and scenic settings along this segment are very good, and very few modern intrusions are 
present. The AT&T telephone cable scar is nearly healed and is often difficult to see, and 
other than one regular fence (on state land) and one buck and pole fence, the segment is 
untouched by modern intrusions until it reaches the 3 Forks-Atlantic City Road.
