Mr.. Vernon NJ. Pierce,
Chief Engineer.
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to instructions a
reconnaissance survey of the pro
posed Boone Way from Crab
Orchard to Middlesboro, Ken,
lucky, was made June 20 to July
3, inclusive, and l beg to report as
follows: 4
| The aBOone Way" is the name
suggested for a proposed national
| highway to be built along the
trail made by Daniel Boone in
penetrating the wilderness OF
Kentucky. 1t begins at Cumber
land Gap and extends in a north
westerly direction thru Middles
boro, Pineville, BarbOurville
London, Livingston, Pine Hill,
Mt. Vernon 20 Crab Orchard, {
distance of 98H miles Prior tc
building OF the Knoxville Branch
OF the Louisville ard Nashville
Railroad this trail was improved
and maintained under the direc
ton OF the state authorities, anC
was known as The Wilderness
Turnpike" The improvement
consisted of building a fair eartl
road and corduroying sections
where the mud would get so deep
during the winter and spring a
to be practically impossible
Some short sections of this cor
I duroy construction, is now in
fair state of preservation, although
it was laid more than fifty year
ago. This was the only roa
over which wagons could ,rave
between the Cumberland an
Ohio Rivers and was extensivel,
used by the early immigrants t
Kentucky and stage and freigh
routes were established over it
After the above mentioned raj
! road was built the stage an
, freight routes were discontinued
immigration in wagons practical
ceased, and the road was abar
= doned by the state and turnpik
Z companies. On account of tn
population being very spare
along the road it was used yer
little, no work was done upon i
? and today it is practically impas
able in the mountainous sectio
l thru ROckcastle and Laurel Coul
ties.
The road does not pass thr
+ any extensive tracks of agricu
tural land. Much. of the land
I very billy. The valleys. as ru
II are narrow and the plateau lane
are small in area and not Vel
/ fertile. Not more than ten pt
cent of the land lying within tv
miles of the road is now in cult

The only post road on the rou
IS section about FIVE miles
length which RS a part of the st;
route from Lilly east to futile.

sessed valuation of the counts
thru which the road passes are
