California Surveyors Forums

I remember reading stories of surveyors during the preliminary layout, mapping and engineering the great Alcan Highway. I don't recall if was in POB, a CLSA publication, but, would love to have a copy of it. Does anyone recall reading this, and/or have a copy of it?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Walters PLS 5528

I don't remember where I read some similar articles, Since the Army built it you might try researching in that direction. It wasn't fun. LOL

I do remember that I read it from an ACSM publication or POB? It was before the scanning ease of now days, other wise, I would have saved it.
