April 28, 1928

This image of a newly constructed gravel road, viewed looking directly up the road, shows deep ruts in the foreground and a section of corduroy construction at middle ground before the road climbs a hillside and turns left out if sight. A barbed wire fence parallels the road at right with a log gate structure apparent and four slanted poles against the fence in foreground. A cleared field and hillside are visible in far background with heavy spruce timber fringe beyond. A patch of snow in foreground is the only snow visible and may mark a now unused roadway.
