Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

September 1933

This image shows the cleared road entering the frame in left foreground and turning directly away in center through a heavy spruce and birch forest. A single lane gravel running surface is in place in the center of the pioneered roadway. In middle ground a white conical tent is visible on the left side of the road and a white peak-roofed building is on the right. Enlarging the image reveals a woman walking across the road from the tent at left. A low indistinct ridge forms the background.
