Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

February 21, 1938

This winter scene shows the road leading away along the base of the mountain at right with a fringe of spruce and cottonwood trees and the Knik River beyond at left. Ground water flowing downhill at right surfaces at the road cut and soon freezes in the cold air. Where the water overflows the road surface and freezes there, significant ice build-up is beginning to occur. Location here is a short distance west of the Knik River bridge, not visible in the photo. Chugach Mountains at the east end of the valley are visible in background.
