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.
