The Elliott Cutoff was a wagon road that branched off the Oregon Trail at the Malheur River and continued west to the Willamette Valley in the U.S. state of Oregon. The first travelers on the cutoff were known as "The Lost Wagon Train of 1853". This wagon train probably contained 615 men and 412 women and children.[1]
