Mile 1271 The Alaska Skyway
Alaskan airfields, like the Northway strip a few miles from here, played a significant role in the development of the Alaska Highway

Mile 1292 Dusenberg Camp No. 2
This camp, on the shores of Midway Lake, was operated by E. M. Dusenberg Co. of Iowa. They were just one of about 50 civil road construction contractors or "dirt pushers" working on the highway in 1943

Mile 1352 The Father of the International Highway
For Donald MacDonald, the construction of the Alaska Highway was the realization of a long-held dream

Mile 1376 The Crooked Road
The road builders were under pressure to finish the road "with all the physical capacity of the troops"

Mile 1409 After the War
The Alaska Highway "exposed Alaska to all the good and all the bad in the civilization we always thought was so far away." The Alaska Highway broke the territorial shell of isolation and helped make Alaska into the 49th state in 1959
