Road from Pouce Coupe to the soldier settlement on the west-
erly side of the Kiskatinaw river.

The road from Pouce Coupe to the Kiskatinaw
river or to the “Cutbank" as it is known locally, serves
Dawson Creek post office and the westerly part of the
Pouce Coupe settlement. It also provides the soldier
settlers on the westerly side of the Kiskatinaw river
with a means of outlet. This road branches from the
main Pouce Coupe - Kolla road about half a mile north
of the former mentioned place, and follows along section
lines to the Kiskatinaw. ‘the road through the prairie
parts, that is westerly to near the centre of range 16,
the edge of the timbered lands, is in excellent econdit-
ion. The trail westerly from this point in addition to
being in timbered land, goes over the divide between
the Pouce Coupe and Kiskatinaw rivers. The road here
has been cut out one chain wide but the stumps have not
been removed. This part is rough at all times and in
wet weather on account of the clayey soil becomes very
heavy. A very good briage was eonstructed over the
Kiskatinaw river, in the winter of 1920-21, in section
10-78-17. Erom the bridge the trail on the west side of
the river which serves the soldier settlement, angles
eross country in a northwesterly direction and is gener-
ally in poor condition. Another trail leaves this route
in section 22-78-18 and leads in a westerly direction to
Pine river and Moberly lake. ‘This trail, although cut
out for wagons is generally in poor condition and better
suited for travelling with pack horse.
