Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

May 1936

This southwest view looks directly down the roadway being graded by a cat tractor at middle ground pulling a road grader toward the viewer. Deep ditches line both sides of the road as it crosses a wide flat. The soil looks heavy but not muddy as it is being formed up into the roadway. At right background on the grass flat is a dilapidated rail fence. At left background the rail line and telegraph poles are visible. Heavy forest forms the background at the edge of the grass flats.

Near Eklutna, Alaska
