INT-RP-203: Cost, performance, and esthetic impacts of an experimental
forest road in Montana
Gardner, Rulon B. 1978. Cost, performance, and esthetic impacts of an experimental forest road in Montana. Res. Pap. INT-RP-203. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station. 28 p.
An experimental logging road designed to minimize environmental and esthetic impact was constructed in northwest Montana. The road was single-lane (14-foot finished surface, 3-foot ditch), constructed along the contour. Esthetically, the single-lane experimental road was judged far superior to existing roads on the forest.
