Siskiyou Mountain Macadam
During the 1917 season, 61⁄2 miles of broken stone macadam was constructed on the [Pacific Highway in the Siskiyou Mountains]. This macadam is sixteen feet in width, and extends from the California State Line to Siskiyou. It was constructed with State forces under the supervision of L. L. Clarke, construction superintendent. A total of 17,780 cubic yards of rock were crushed and placed on the road. The cost of the work complete was $56,252.98.
Survey—Ashland to Klamath Falls
On August 25, 1918, a location survey was started between Ashland and Klamath Falls. After a careful reconnaissance of the low passes, the route via Green Springs Mountain was chosen, as against the Dead Indian Summit, 500 feet higher.
Surveys were continued until November 30, when they were discontinued for the winter months. The present road is in such poor condition, that maintaining a locating party at work during the winter would be very expensive.
