The Civilian Conservation Corps in Northern Arizona

Bob Audretsch, author presents "We Still Walk in Their Footprint: The Civilian Conservation Corps in Northern Arizona, 1933 – 1942."  

The Civilian Conservation Corps, along with other New Deal agencies, was responsible for unprecedented federal land agency infrastructure growth in northern Arizona during the Great Depression. These forty-four CCC companies completed an astounding number of projects accomplishing as much as fifty years work in less than ten years. From the first reliable road from St. George, Utah to Wolf Hole, AZ, to the rustic cabins of Hualapai Mountain Park in Kingman, to the Crown King Ranger Station, to the Painted Desert Inn at the Petrified Forest National Park, we still walk in the CCC footprint.
