Surrey—Coos County Line to Roseburg
During April and May 1917, a preliminary survey was made from the Coos-Douglas County Line eastward to a connection with the new Pacific Highway location between Roseburg and Dillard. Some construction on this line was contemplated in the spring of 1918, but was postponed until the close of the war. Location surveys were in charge of Mr. C. C. Kelley, locating engineer. The length of the survey is 28.7 miles.
Survey—Johns Ranch to Jacques Ranch
This survey was made in July 1917, and is on the Pacific Highway between Glendale and Canyonville. The survey was 7.2 miles in length and was made by Mr. C. C. Kelley, locating engineer.
Survey—Canyon Creek Pass to Johns Ranch
This survey consisted of the location of a 2.3 mile section of the Pacific Highway from Canyon Creek Pass to Johns Ranch in Cow Creek Valley. It was made by C. C. Kelley, locating engineer, in August, 1917, and the section is now being constructed as a part of the Canyonville-Galesville Forest Road Project.
GILLIAM COUNTY
Gilliam County presents an interesting situation from the viewpoint of highways. Besides the Columbia River Highway the County is traversed by the John Day Highway, one of the important routes of Eastern Oregon. This large mileage of State highways along with the fact that there are many large agricultural communities to be served, renders important and necessary an extensive road building program.
