Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

September 9, 1937

This image shows a portion of the new gravel road located several miles west of the Knik River bridge as it parallels the river. The road is seen at right at the base of the steep mountainside and adjacent to river flood water on the left. A log and tangle of branches occupy the immediate foreground on the road shoulder along with exposed broken rocks. Heavy forest occupies the middle ground from left to right beyond the low land covered by water. Part of Pioneer Peak is visible in background at right and the mountains at the eastern end of the valley form the background across the rest of the image.
