Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

February 9, 1937

This winter image shows a plowed section of road through a snow-covered landscape, curving out of sight to the left in near middle ground. Heavy spruce forest forms the middle ground and near background beyond the road, typical of the much of the valley near Palmer. Snow-covered mountains forming the east end of the valley are partially visible in background. A barbed wire fence is visible at right of the road and in the middle ground where an area of forest appears to be cleared.
