Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

February 9, 1937

This view is taken from the curve of the road as it descends Bugge's hill on the approach to the Palmer community. A pile of gravel is obvious in foreground on the inside of the road curve, exhibiting evidence of material being removed from it. In middle ground, John Bugge's homestead field and numerous buildings are evident with the straight section of the road running directly toward the community center. Many of the community buildings are evident, including the newly constructed Hyland Hotel. Snow-covered mountains make up the background. A thin layer of snow covers the valley floor with many bare spots evident.
