Big Timber Pioneer reported in early 1937 on a CCC camp at Beaver Creek park south of Havre, Montana. The workers were "developing trails, cabins and other conveniences for the public enjoyment."

Big Timber Pioneer reported: "Joseph Parker, state WPA administrator, has approved construction of the Ackley lake project on the Judith river west of Hobson in Judith Basin county. This irrigation undertaking will cost $113,003. It will employ 328 clients for four months."

Jim Jenks writes: "Designed in the Moderne style" popular at the time, "Gallatin County's 1936 courthouse at 311 West Main Street was one of several federally financed projects that brought jobs and civic improvements to Bozeman during the Great Depression." The author notes that the WPA underwrote both the construction of the new county courthouse as well as the demolition of its predecessor. The building is still utilized by Gallatin County today. A 1939 survey of PWA works described the building as follows: "This building is three stories and a basement in height and is 85 by 110 feet in plan.  The courtroom...

One of 17 community houses constructed in Mississippi during the New Deal, the facility in Winona is still in use and maintained through regular repair, retaining "a high degree of integrity" (Gatlin, 2008). The building is faced with native rock in a Tudor style.. The public library was housed in the building initially, as were many of the libraries opened in Mississippi under the New Deal library projects. The first event held at completion was a "celebration of WPA Project Day, held 'for the purpose of acquainting the public with the accomplishments of the program during its first year' " (WPA...

"A low limestone perimeter wall built in 1936–1937 separates Broadway and the adjacent sidewalk from the green space in front of the Witte and Pioneer Hall. The wall, which runs the length of the property, was built by Witte museum and WPA workers. Entry points through the wall connect to sidewalks leading to both the Witte and Pioneer Hall. A stone bench is built into the wall, presumably to provide seating for bus patrons. The wall culminates at Tuleta Drive on the south and on the north at the northeast corner of the park property. Curved wing walls and planting...

The WPA began construction on a "new elevated water storage tank" for the town of Taylor, Texas in early 1936. Replaced in 2009 and dismantled soon after, the old water tower resided just south and west from its replacement on the north side of West 12th Street in Murphy Park. 2009 satellite imagery accessible through Google Earth shows both locations.

While the town of Kosse, TX no longer maintains a school (which was consolidated with Groesbeck's Independent School District in 1968), the town did receive a new school building with funding by the PWA. "Numerous jobs, ranging from skilled to unskilled laborers, will be opened with the Kosse high school project gets underway in December . The building of the high school as a PWA project for $42,000 will give all WPA registrees preference." (The Mexia Weekly Herald)

    As noted in the State of Oregon's Historic Preservation database: "The John Day Compound, Supervisor's Warehouse is a complex of work buildings, employee residences, and related infrastructure owned an operated by the Malheur National Forest in John Day, Oregon, United States. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936–1942, it is the headquarters for field operations in the national forest and is typical of projects carried out by the CCC on behalf of the Forest Service. It represents that era's shift in the Forest Service's architectural vision toward comprehensive site planning, as well as its policy evolution from custodial superintendence...

From 1936 to 1941, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed Honeyman State Park, just south of Florence, Oregon, under the supervision of the National Park Service (NPS).  The parkland had been purchased by the state from 1930 to 1936. Honeyman Park covers over 500 acres along Highway 101 (the Oregon Coast Highway), tucked behind the Oregon Dunes National Seashore.  It includes two freshwater lakes, Cleawox Lake within the dunes and the much larger Woahink Lake east of the highway. There is a day-use area on the north side of Cleawox Lake, a large campground south of that lake and water sports...

Monjeau Lookout is located in the Lincoln National Forest near Alto, New Mexico. The lookout "is a famous landmark on the Smokey Bear Ranger District built originally in 1936 and then reconstructed in 1940 as part of a Civilian Conservation Corps project.  This site is a wonderful and adventurous place to visit.  Roads leading up to the site are dirt and can be steep in places.  Visit during the summer months as the road leading to it closes during the winter with the advent of snow.  Monjeau Lookout is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)."   (nps.gov)
