7 Page 7 MAPS Active Military Bases in Alaska in 1937 As international tensions increased in the late 1930s, Alaska was virtually undefended. As of 1937, there were only two active military posts in all of Alaska, including one that been created that year. The older base was the Chilkoot Barracks in Haines, founded in After the military basically withdrew from Alaska in the mid- 1920s, this tiny outpost with soldiers was the only active base in the territory until In 1937, the Navy established a seaplane base at Sitka, for biplane flying boats. Establishing this base meant the US was abrogating the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, from which Japan had already withdrawn. Until July 1940, there was no local overall Army command in the Alaska territory. Instead, all Alaska army posts were directly under the command of the 9 th Army Corps area, headquartered at the Presidio in San Francisco.
8 Page 8 Location of the Principal Airfields of the Northwest Staging Route The NW Stating Route was a chain of airfields constructed to support flying planes to Fairbanks (and Anchorage) for 1) delivery of aircraft to US forces in Alaska and 2) to deliver lend-lease planes to Russian forces that picked them up in Fairbanks The chain of airfields of the Staging Route began in Edmonton, Alberta, and ended in Fairbanks. Planes being delivered to US forces in the Aleutians and SW Alaska left the staging route in Whitehorse or Northway and flew to Anchorage. The most important connection to the US was from an airfield in Great Falls Montana, to which planes were ferried from manufacturing plants and other airbases. Early on, planes en route from Whitehorse to Fairbanks occasionally flew via Dawson City
9 Page Department of Transportation Routes to Upgrade Airfield at Watson Lake and Construct Replacement at Fort Nelson In 1940, Grant McConachie constructed crude airfields at both Watson Lake and Fort Nelson flying in construction material using float planes and using local labor. In 1941, the Canadian Department of Transportation upgraded McConachie s airfield at Watson Lake and totally replaced the one at Fort Nelson. This was a major project, employing heavy equipment and construction crews sent from the outside. For Watson Lake, equipment and men made a 1,000 mile trip via the route shown in blue and yellow taking a steamer from Vancouver to the mouth of the Stikine River, then after transfer to smaller boats, travelling up the Stikine to Telegraph Creek; hauled 75 miles (in 1 st section shown in yellow) over a sleigh road; reassembled at Dease Lake, then down the Dease River to near Watson Lake. Final section was another short portage to the Airfield site. For Fort Nelson, on the route shown in red, men and material were transported to Dawson Creek via rail, then travelled 1 st to Fort St. John via road, then onward to Fort Nelson over a crude winter trail.
10 Page 10 The Army Choice of Route Combines Proposals The Army chose a route that didn t completely follow any of the original route proposals. Instead, they decided on a route that best served to support the airfields of the Northwest Staging Route. What this meant in terms of the original proposals was that the chosen route more or less followed Route C to Fort Nelson and then Watson Lake. From there, it continued directly to Whitehorse, over a stretch of the Yukon that had not been considered in any of the original proposals. From Whitehorse, the Army chose to follow the revised version of Route A, past Kluane Lake and then directly into Alaska and on to Fairbanks. Thus, Dawson City, which had been a stop on Routes B, C and D, as well as on the original version of Route A, was bypassed. When the choice was announced, there was immediate protest from the proponents of Routes A and B. These protests and calls for the Army to change the decision would go on for months, even after construction activity had started.
11 Page 11 Relationship Between Existing Northwest Staging Route Airfields in early 1942 and the Planned Alaska Highway With apologies for the fuzziness of this map!
12 Page 12 Original Logistics Construction Plan for Alaska Highway The original plan, developed in early February 1942, envisioned a multi-pronged approach with construction starting from three locations, all of which could be reached by rail from left to right on this map, Fairbanks, Whitehorse, and Dawson Creek. Men and material would be transported to the construction starting places by rail. The plan was to use soldiers of four regiments of the Army Corps of Engineers plus civilian contractors working for the Public Roads Administration (PRA). The PRA would work south from Fairbanks to meet the 18 th Engineers working north and west from Whitehorse; the 340 th Engineers would work south and east from Whitehorse to meet the 35 th Engineers working north and west from Fort Nelson, after traveling there from Dawson Creek; the 341 st would work north from Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson. This provisional, planning map, has errors on it, presumably the result of lack of knowledge. These include the fact that between Ft. St. John and Ft. Nelson, it wasn t known where the highway would be relative to the existing winter trail and that there was a crude road not shown on the map that ran north and west from Whitehorse as far as Kluane Lake. As for the indicated future route of the Alaska Highway, this was speculative, especially between Fort Nelson and Whitehorse.
