Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

October 1933

This image is of a portion of the road north of the Eagle River bridge that enters the frame at left foreground and cuts a sidehill as it curves around the hill out of sight in center middle ground. The roadway is covered with a thick layer of gravel, graded but not compact. The hillside at right is mostly covered with brush while the area below the road at left exhibits spruce and cottonwood trees. Snow covers the undisturbed ground. Enlarging the photo reveals several men in middle ground working with hand tools on the road.
