In 1926, the U.S. Highway System was created and many of the highways listed below became part of a new U.S. Highway; in some cases, a highway's number was changed so as not to conflict with a U.S. Highway number (or, later, an Interstate Highway number) which came through Missouri.

The Ozark Trail ran through southwest Missouri and across Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle, and on into New Mexico. [5] Much of this route became the famed U.S. Route 66. The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1925, which finally incorporated the Deep South into the Federal roads program, made the group's basic functions obsolete and it disbanded.
