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 or, where it has no point, Wikidata, 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 November 02, 2026.
