In Richmond we have "Three Chop Road" named for the Indian trail that it follows today.

 

I would think other roads are named after old Indian trails.

 

So come on guys, lets add to this thread the names of the roads or trails or parks where the Indians marked their trails throughout the United States and Canada.

From the quick Google search I did it sure looks like one, especially because of the "knob" I'll call it at the bottom of the bend. Have you spoken or reached out to a local archeologist or university? That would be the route I'd take. I'm an American history nerd so I myself would be curious.
