Several factors contributed to the end of the frontier as it had been known. The construction of railroads into the territory, especially the construction of the Callan and Cana Railroad along the traditional route of the ''Via Antonia'', opened the area to increasing urbanization and development. Accordingly, attractive parcels became harder to find, especially with the development of the Magnag and Canete Railroad which ran along the route of the Eastern Via, connecting the cities of Ardricampus on the [[Magnag]] and Sangran on the [[Sea of Canete]]. The 1880s also saw a significant slowing of the economy and increasing political turmoil in [[Urcea]]. | Several factors contributed to the end of the frontier as it had been known.

Ómestaderoi settlement began to slow in the 1880s, and the onset of the [['97 Rising]] turned the area into a heavily militarized zone. The railroad route of the Callan and Cana and the ''Via Antonia'' generally became a central theater of conflict following the [[Fall of Cana]], as these routes allowed for direct land access into [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Urcean valley]] and were of vital strategic importance to both sides. | Ómestaderoi settlement began to slow in the 1880s, and the onset of the [['97 Rising]] turned the area into a heavily militarized zone.

In summer 1901, the [[Antonine Campaign]] involved a slow crawling offensive of Legimitist and [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial]] forces up the ''Via Antonia'' and rail lines. Significant infrastructure and economic damage had been done by the time the allied forces secured Meliferia in fall 1901. | ||
