Remnants of the abandoned Twin Arrows trading post in a dot of a place of the same name along old U.S. Highway 66 in eastern Arizona, which served as a major path for those who migrated west during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Traffic began to flow through the Twin Arrows area because Route 66 was aligned along the National Old Trails Road. Two 25-foot giant arrows which were placed on the property were easily recognized by traveling motorists and the business began to fourish, but the Twin Arrows Trading Post began to fail with the construction of the Interstate 40 , which pulled traffic off old Route 66. The decline continued until 1995, when the site was finally closed and abandoned
