paved in 1938. Several places were dangerous: more dedicating the highway to Will Rogers is still located
than one part of the highway was nicknamed “Bloody in Santa Monica, California. There are more plaques
66” and gradually work was done to realign these like this; one can be found in Galena, Kansas. It was
segments to remove dangerous curves. However, one originally located on the Kansas-Missouri state line,
section through the Black Mountains outside Oatman, but moved to the Howard Litch Memorial Park in 2001.
Arizona, was fraught with hairpin turns and was the
steepest along the entire route, so much so that
some early travelers, too frightened at the prospect of
driving such a potentially dangerous road, hired locals
to navigate the winding grade. The section remained
as US 66 until 1953 and is still open to traffic today as
the Oatman Highway. Despite such hazards in some
areas, US 66 continued to be a popular route.
During World War II, more migration west occurred
because of war-related industries in California. US
