Photographer: Daniel A. Driscoll
Caption: Plank Road Sketch
Additional Description: "The structure of a plank road was not complex. As a base, six parallel stringers, 3- by 4-inch timbers, usually of hemlock or birch, were laid in the ground end to end. Then 9- or 10-foot long planks were laid crosswise as close as possible, but never nailed."
