The marker on the left in the top photo is for the Great Western Cattle Trail of 1874 - 1896. Be sure to walk around the other side of the marker, they're inscribed on both sides.

The reverse side of the Great Western Cattle Trail marker has a map of the trail as it passes through Oklahoma. The Holy family Cemetery is on the other side of the road from these markers.
