Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

October 7, 1934

This wide landscape view of low rolling scrub forest land, taken from the center of the road in foreground, shows the road leading away in a broad "S" curve to disappear in the vegetation at middle ground. The roadbed exhibits a deep layer of gravel spread on it but not yet compacted, showing obvious ruts from construction vehicles. Two small hills, heavily covered with spruce trees, rise above the lower lands in the background.
