Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) worked to improve the road infrastructure around Mammoth [Hot Springs].
Cassity: “Mammoth Hot Springs area – Earth fill, sod clumps and sage were brought in to regrade areas of the many old road scars in the complex. The old road section between buildings No. 3 and 4 was obliterated. Most of this section was resodded using sod removed from the proposed road to the Power House, and the remaining area was seeded.
