Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

June 24, 1933

This is a summer image of a flat gravel road in a "dry muskeg" setting. The road enters the frame in foreground right and then curves in mid-frame to exit directly away from the viewer. Spruce, aspen and birch trees form the forest on both sides of the road. The forest material has been cleared away from the road on both sides leaving the ground cover of grass and moss. The roadbed is rough graded gravel showing no sign of traffic use.
