Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection

September 1933

This view is a section of the road that has been "pioneered" with the trees and brush cleared back on both sides and with the "duff" (moss and grass) cleared off down to mineral soil. The road climbs a small hill straight away from the viewer and a culvert can be seen installed at the base of the hill. Gravel is evident on a section of the hillside and below, likely a natural vein exposed with the clearing or possibly placed there for use associated with the culvert installation. The brow of the hill terminates the view in middle ground.
