The Jones Plummer Trail began in Dodge City, Kansas and went southwest through the Oklahoma Panhandle into Texas.[1][2] Ed Jones and Joe Plummer originally used the route for bringing buffalo meat and hides to Dodge City. Later, the trail saw more use as a freight trail. At one point, this trail saw over 150,000 lbs of freight a week.
