Peach Springs is positioned on the route of the former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (now the BNSF Railway) and on historic US Route 66.

Route 66 brought large numbers of cross-country travellers through the town until Interstate 40 was opened 25 miles (40 km) to the south in 1978.

I-40 diverges from Route 66 at Seligman 37 miles (60 km) to the east and the two roads do not meet again until Kingman 50 miles (80 km) to the west.

As no connecting roads join the two highways at Peach Springs, the town went from being on the beaten path to being more than thirty miles from the new chief road overnight.

The new road shortened the highway distance from Kingman to Seligman by 14 miles (23 km) at the cost of turning villages like Truxton, Valentine and Hackberry, Arizona, into overnight ghost towns.

In Seligman, Route 66 Association founder Angel Delgadillo explained how abruptly small-town business died the afternoon Interstate 40 was opened. Scenery and landmarks in the film are heavily influenced by real places in Arizona and in various US states along Route 66. Wikivoyage has a travel guide for Peach Springs.
