Not necessarily. This is the age of Helmart and that means the distance between supply points is often quite large even in "civilized" areas. For example, there are very few places to get food along the Missouri River on the Lewis and Clark ACA route. If you follow their route from Sioux City, IA to St Charles, MO (576 miles), there really are only 3 supply points...Council Bluffs, IA, Atchison,KS and Jefferson City, MO. I found that I had to carry 3 days or more of food or I would have to go 20 to 30 miles off-route.

If you are going to follow the TransAm, I'll guarantee that you won't find much from Girard, KS to Pueblo, CO. You won't find anything from Alexander, KS through Eads, CO to Ordway. There's not even much in the way of people out there. I grew up in that area. In fact, I'd suggest following US50 through Lamar, La Junta and on to Pueblo for that part of the TransAm. It's a lot more interesting and you aren't the only thing around for miles and miles.
