During October and November, 1918, the State Highway Commission made a
location survey of a 9.85 mile section of the John Day Highway between
Cow Valley and Brogan. The line follows in the direction of the present
road, but marked departures from the location were made in several
places. Plans for this work are about fifty per cent complete. R. H.
Coppock, locating engineer for the State Department, was in charge of
this work.
