The Oregon Trail did not start at Indianapolis. It started at any of several "jumping off" points on the shores of the Mississippi River.

From that point travelers would start riding horses, mules, oxen and/or wagons to get to Independence and Kansas City, Missouri, on the western side of Missouri state.
