One highway. Thirty communities. Five states. A changing American landscape stretching from the Gulf Coast toward Montana's Hi-Line.

In *Route 87*, Mark Bureau follows U.S. Route 87 north from Port Lavaca, Texas, through the Hill Country, West Texas, the High Plains, northeastern New Mexico, Colorado's Front Range, Wyoming's open basins, and central Montana.

Rather than rushing between endpoints, this richly illustrated journey slows down in the places that give the road its meaning. Courthouses, depots, historic downtowns, local businesses, waterways, farms, ranches, and working landscapes reveal why each community developed where it did and how railroads and highways reshaped daily life.

The thirty featured chapters end in Lewistown, Montana, while U.S. 87 continues north toward its official endpoint west of Havre. Together, these towns tell a larger story of movement, work, adaptation, and the enduring connection between America's roads and the people who live beside them.
