The overland route to the west was primarily blocked by Indigenous tribes, particularly during the early periods of westward expansion in the United States. Additionally, geographical obstacles such as mountains and deserts posed significant challenges. Conflicts and skirmishes between settlers and Indigenous peoples, as well as later military engagements, further complicated access to these routes. The combination of these factors created barriers for settlers attempting to move westward.
