What caused the end to the cattle boom and cattle drives in the mid-1800's?
Actually that's when it all really began to take off, not when it ended. Cattle drives soon ended in the late 1800's to the early 1900's because of fierce winter storms, barbed wire, drought, overgrazing, and the near extinction of the population of Longhorns originating from Spain and developed in the wilds of southwestern America.
In what year did cattle drives on the chisolm trail reach their peak?
The big major cattle drives ended around the early 1900s, when the railroads became more and more accessible for ranchers to herd their cattle to.

Why did cattle drives end in the 1800?
Cattle drives haven't ended, they still happen around the world, a lot more frequently than you think, actually. But back in the late 1800's in the USA and Canada the implementation of barbed wire fences, increasing population of settlers taking over land that could be or would otherwise be used to graze and raise cattle on, the railroad, the invention of the car (which turned into manufacturing large trucks to transport livestock in) and the Great Winter of 1885-86 where thousands of cattle died of starvation all came together to bring the great, one-hundred-mile-plus cattle drives from the home range to the stockyards to an end. It was no longer needed, wasn't feasible, and easier and easier methods were created to transport, rather than herd, cattle from one place to another.
