The Oregon Trail This interactive Oregon Trail Map shows how, where and why pioneers travelled from Missouri to Oregon in 1843. There are graphics for each major stopping point along the trail, along with interesting facts about the various locations and people. The writing is limited and focused in a way that should not be overwhelming for ESL students. Rec. by John Cronfel. in Social Studies > U.S. Historywith historyinteractiveoregonsocialstudiestrail
