In the Southwest, a road or highway is a lifeline, and in many places, is one with the landscape. A photographer friend said that back east, she would intentionally crop out roads from her photographs, but in the Southwest, a road frequently tells a story that is intimately inter-twined with the landscape. There are many notable highways that run through the Southwest: Old Route 66, “the Mother Road” from Chicago to Los Angeles, is one of them. Parts of old Route 66 are still maintained as a modern highway by Arizona.
