Historical Marker

State Road 137

This road was built by Civilian Conservation Corps (1936-1942) Companies 2842 and 2868 to connect US 285 with El Paso Gap and for access to the Lincoln National Forest. On September 14, 1991, surviving CCC enrollees Wayne Westfall, Le Roy Jones, Edward Huckaby and Clarence Blanscett gathered here to dedicate this marker in honor of project supervisor Wayne Coalson and Bill High and the men who built the road.
