Photo 15: From 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.

Segment E starts at the 3 Forks-Atlantic City Road and ends at the GMCA boundary fence near 
Long Slough. This five-mile long segment’s condition is considered ‘poor-good’: this segment’s 
ruts and swales have been destroyed in several places, and the remaining ruts and settings up 
to Section 27 have been impacted by the presence of upgraded roads, fences, and corrals. The 
trail in Section 27, however, has good integrity of ruts, and does not have modern visual 
intrusions around it; this final portion of trail within this segment is rated as “good”.
