Gold was discovered around Prescott, prompting the construction of a road from the Beale Wagon Road to Prescott to connect the mines to the cross-country route.
The Overland Road began near the field behind what is now Mount Elden Middle School (MEMS) at Cedar Avenue and Fourth Street, stretching towards the Flagstaff Medical Center area and the campus of Flagstaff High School. It then traveled along the western edge of Townsite at the base of Mars Hill before passing by the La Plaza Vieja Spring in the La Plaza Vieja Spring Park.
