Photo 14 of Seminoe Cutoff - Oregon Trail.

Photo 14: Segment “D” of the Seminoe Cutoff, looking hwest. 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.
