Description
The Work Projects Administration (WPA) undertook a project in southwest Crawford County, Kansas to improve 4.5 miles of road starting at the west edge of the village of Monmouth, down half a mile (along South 90th Street), and west four miles (along West 510th Avenue) to McCune. The project entailed removing hedges and growth and widening the roads. The project provided 60 laborers work for five months.
