In June, 1918, a survey was made between Neskowin in Tillamook County
and Salmon River in Lincoln County. This survey was of a preliminary
nature and was made to determine the feasibility of a road between these
points. It was found that a five per cent grade could be obtained, but
that owing to the extremely rugged nature of the country, a road of
standard width and on a standard alignment would be so expensive as to
be impracticable at this time.
The total length of the survey was eight miles. Mr. J. H. Scott was in
charge of the work as locating engineer.
