Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

June 17, 1935

This view, taken from the roadside ditch, shows an automobile, likely a pickup truck, standing on the gravel road surface facing forward to the left. Both doors stand open. A ptarmigan, in mostly brown summer plumage, stands on the road in front of the truck. A low gravel berm appears to run lengthwise near the road center, indicating grader maintenance is occurring on this road section. Several spruce trees are evident on the far side of the road. Partial views of mountains appear in background.
