Northwest Missouri State has always been a fixture and a community stronghold for the city of Maryville and surrounding area. We spent our childhood riding bikes, sledding, and walking around the campus of Northwest Missouri State. When deciding on the 2012 Maze design we couldn't think of a better tribute to Northwest Missouri than the Northwest Missouri State Bearcat. 2011 Maze Pony Express 150th Anniversary The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages and mail from St. Joseph, Missouri across the Great Plains, over the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada to Sacramento, California by horseback, using a series of relay stations. During its 18 months of operation, it reduced the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to about ten days. From April 3, 1860 to October 1861, it became the West's most direct means of east–west communication before the telegraph was established and was vital for tying the new state of California with the rest of the country.
