Excerpt from Recreational Resources of the Alaska Highway and Other Roads in Alaska
The Alaskan portions of the Highway lie almost entirely in virgin country. They pass 'through lands still in public ownership. The same is largely true of other roads within the Territory which are joined by the Alaska Highway to form the nucleus of a coordinated system. It is essential and timely that plans be laid for the protection of the scenic, scientific, and historical features of lands immediately adjacent to this system of highways, and for their proper utilization for recreational purposes. With such objectives in mind the National Park Service has prepared this report, recreational resources OF the alaska highway and other roads IN alaska. It covers one phase of the larger program of helping Alaska to use wisely the resources that have now been made more easily available.
