If you crossed Artemis, it meant a swift death to follow. She preferred the mountains to cities, and forest to roads, and the hunt to food gotten from the earth.
One way American's improved the roads in the early 1800s is by private companies building turnpikes. America was moving from horse and buggy to motorcars in the 1800s.
The roads go around and through the the mountains. :)
Daniel Boone crossed the Appalachian Mountains through forest that had possibly never been trodden by people. On June 7, 1769, he came to the summit of a ridge and saw for the first time what is now Kentucky. The trail he blazed became known as Wilderness Road and became one of the most-used roads by those who were traveling west.
Because transportation is hindered by mountains. The land is rough and rugged and people have to make so many turns to find routes that their wagons would be able to handle. Remember, there were no paved roads back then in the frontiers.
Roads tend to be located in the valleys.

Roads tend to be located in the valleys.
A valley is the area between mountains where roads can be built. Valleys provide a naturally occurring path with less steep terrain compared to the mountains themselves, making it easier to construct roads for transportation purposes.
The Appalachian Mountains, often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. It once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before naturally occurring erosion. The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east-west travel, as it forms a series of alternating ridgelines and valleys oriented in opposition to most roads running east or west. The system is divided into a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaging around 3,000 ft (910 m). The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet (2,037 m).
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located in the southern Appalachian Mountains of the United States. The Smoky Mountains include parts of both North Carolina and Tennessee. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park straddles the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. A road runs straight through the park from Cherokee, NC to Gatlinburg, TN and connects with other roads to other areas of the Park.
