Abstract
Working within the discipline of environmental history, which attempts to see the connection between human history and the environment, this paper outlines the chronological history of the construction of Highway #35.
Explanations of environmental history and the research methodology employed preface the depiction of the highway construction. Details include a description of the road camps during the depression years of 1931 to 1934, the building phase, the situation after the depression, the advent of tourism to the area with its subsequent effect on the environment, and the development resulting from the highway construction.
