Federal Route 85, in its purest state, would have been one have the greatest federal routes in the American west.  As the Interstate highway system began construction in the mid-portions of the 20th century, much of Federal Route 85's path was condemned by the introduction of Interstates 10 and 25.  Today, the federal route's path is largely composed of a border-straddling segment between Texas and Chihuahua, and a healthy roll through the prairies of the Dakotas (South Dakota and North Dakota).
