Federal Route 85, in its purest state, would have been one of 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.
