The Gadsden Purchase, completed in 1854, facilitated travel across the southern United States by providing a more direct route for a transcontinental railroad. This purchase secured a strip of land in present-day Arizona and New Mexico, allowing for improved transportation infrastructure and connectivity in the region. Additionally, it helped reduce travel time and costs for freight and passengers, promoting economic growth and westward expansion. Ultimately, the acquisition played a significant role in shaping the nation's transportation network.
