Alaska Linked
With Panama
(By E. A. Daubenspeck)
Treasurer, International 87 High
way Association
SHELBY, Mont.—A 7,810-mile
highway, by which motorist?
eventually will travel from snow
capped Alaskan mountain country
all the way to tropical Panama in
full touring comfort and safety. U
nearing realization.
Lying immediately east ol the
Rockies most ol they way. the
tourist on the route gets a marvel
ous view of upland prairie e -unity
on one side and almost brushes
shoulders with towering peaks on
the other. Many of the world’s
greatest scenic areas and summer
and winter resorts are to be found
on the road or immediately adja
cent thereto. No other system in
North America has so much to of
fer the mountain lover or the wan
derer of the wasteland. No other
route so directly and excellently
connects the two famous high
ways, the Pan-American highway
and the Alaska highway.
Sparking development of this
great north-south route is Inter
national 87 Highway association,
which is promoting the linking of
the Alaska highway with the Pan
American highway by following
j the route of present Highway 87

Everything for Everybody
through the United States and a
network of excellent upland roads
mainly in the province of Alberta.
The association was founded at
Brady. Tex., in 1943 and such
steady progress has been made
since its inception that the move
ment has been extended deep into
the Canadian provinces of Alber
ta and British Columbia, and a
large portion of the route within
the United States is already to be
found on the federal inter-region
al system.
Just now, the association is
chiefly concerned with the 5.273
mile section between Mexico City
and Fairbanks, because the Pan
American highway is passable
only a limited distance south of
Mexico City.
Tourist travel along the Alaskan
highway section was discouraged
this summer, because facilities are
inadequate as yet to accommo
date but few more than those who
travel through necessity. This
spring, there were less than 600
beds in all the hotels and camps
| along the road, which in itself
could handle an endless stream of
> traffic.
Some Parts Excellent
There are portions of this route,
however, that offer some of the
finest motoring on the continent.
Besides the United States sections,
the highway from the Rio Grande
to some distance beyond Mexico
City is excellent, and although
this traverses great mountain
ranges it is readily traveled in
conventional high gear.
Improvement of the route pro
ceeds apace. From Dawson Creek,
all the way to Laredo, Tex.,
places are being widened, larger
bridges installed, curves straight
ened and towns by-passed to
speed up cross-country travel.
Canadians are busy planning
and mapping a route which will
give excellent connections be
tween Edmonton and Dawson
Creek. The establishment of a port
of entry and a customs checking
station at Snag Creek. Yukon Ter
ritory, now makes it possible for
shippers to transport freight 'in
bond" across the Dominion of
Canada.
Dawson Creek Terminus
The Alaska highway, if you
start at the northern terminus, ex
tends from Fairbanks to Dawson
Creek, British Columbia, a dis
tance of 1,523 miles. Dawson
Creek is the “end of steel” and
the point at which army transpor
tation picked up rail-borne mate
rial and headed for Alaska. An ad
ditional 476 miles is necessary to
reach Edmonton, the capital city
of Alberta. The international
boundary between Lethbridge, Al
berta, and Shelby, Mont., is an
other 392 miles south of Edmon
ton. To travel to the southern end
of the route within the United
States, 2,120 more miles must reg
ister on the speedometer before a
second international boundary is
found between Laredo, Tex., and
Nuevo Laredo. Luevo Leon, Mexi
co. From this point to Mexico City
the mileage is 767, and to continue
to Guatemala would require an
other 1.142 miles, and still another
1.390 miles beyond Guatemale to
arrive at Panama.
The peculiarity of the climate
and a part’cular type of highway
| construction make the Alaskan
road easily kept open in the wors'
i weather. The highways in the
northern part of the country are
elevated above the average level
of the terrain and when snow
i falls, ‘the accompanying wind
sweeps the road clear. There arc
of course, places where this does
not always happen and plows arc
then put into service.
