The Chisholm Trail passed through several cities in Kansas, most notably Abilene, Newton, and Wichita. Abilene served as a major endpoint for cattle drives, becoming a bustling cow town in the late 1860s. Newton and Wichita also played significant roles as trading posts and supply centers for cattle drives along the trail. These cities were pivotal in the cattle industry during the trail's peak use.
The Chisholm Trail was a trail that was used to drive cattle overland from ranches in Texas to Kansas rail heads during the late 19th century. The trail is named for Jesse Chisholm, who had built several trading posts in what is now western Oklahoma.

The Chisholm Trail was a trail used in the late 19th century to drive cattle overland from ranches in Texas to Kansas rail heads. It does not pass through any deserts.
The 600-mile Chisholm Trail was used extensively until 1871. Illinois cattle buyer Joseph G. McCoy laid out the trail along an old trade path initially developed by merchant Jesse Chisholm. It ran north from San Antonio to Fort Worth, Texas, through Oklahoma and ended at Abilene, Kansas.

The Great Western Cattle Trail and the Chisholm Trail are both historic cattle-driving routes in the United States. The Great Western Cattle Trail runs from Texas through Oklahoma and into Kansas, primarily following a route west of the Chisholm Trail. In contrast, the Chisholm Trail runs from the Texas cattle ranches, through Oklahoma, and to Abilene, Kansas, located further east. On a map, you can find both trails stretching northward from Texas, with the Chisholm Trail being the more eastern route and the Great Western Trail more to the west.
