U.S. Map


Young Pony Express riders raced their horses across mountains, rivers, and deserts to make the 1,840 mile (2,960 km) trip. Stopping every 10-20 miles for a fresh horse, a trip from St. Joseph, Missouri to San Francisco, California took only 10 days.

Activity:

• Chart the possible path the rider took.
  
• Create your own keys to show the scale of miles and legend to show other interesting features you would like to include on your map.
