1913-14 additions

Box Elder County

In May, 1912, a road to pass west from Snowville through Park Valley, Rosette and Lucin to the Utah-Nevada line was designated as a State Road. At the following session of the State Legislature, an appropriation of $15000 was made to help in the construction of this road. This appropriation was part of the "Midland Trail" building fund,

Cache County

In 1914 a road beginning at Clarkston and running through Newton and Benson to Logan was added to the system of State Roads in Cache County. Also, due to the demand for a State Road connecting Rich County with Cache County, the Commissioners of both Counties, together with representatives of the State Road Commission and prominent citizens of both Counties, investigated the various proposed routes. As a result of this investigation, the following described route was designated as a State Road: Commencing at Logan and running thence via Logan Canyon to the Forks, thence up the left hand fork to Beaver Creek, thence through Beaver Creek via the left hand fork of Beaver Creek, thence via Last Water and Amazon Mine through Shingle Creek Canyon to Garden City.

Garfield County

One designation commences at a point on the present State Road about two miles north of Hillsdale, and runs thence up Red Canyon to Tropic, thence to Cannonville, thence to Henrieville. The other designated road commences at Coyote on the east fork of the Sevier River, and runs thence via Winder on to Escalante.

Carbon County

It was proposed at the end of the biennium that the road leading through Soldier Canyon eastward and northward to Myton in Wasatch County be designated as a State Road.

Emery County

During the latter part of the previous biennium which ended in 1912, the road from Green River to Castle Dale was designated as a State Road.

It has been proposed that the road from Castle Dale by way of Orangeville, through Cottonwood Creek Canyon to the Sanpete County line, be designated as a State Road, to connect with a continuation of this road from the Sanpete County line to the town of Ephraim, Sanpete County. It was also proposed that the road from a point about 2 miles north of Huntington, thence northwesterly about iy2 miles to the town of Mohrland be designated as a State Road. This designation was made in December, 1915, a few days after the close of the biennium.

Garfield County

Two large and important designations of State Roads were made in this biennium, under date of July 7, 1914. One designation commences at a point on the present State Road about two miles north of Hillsdale, and runs thence up Red Canyon to Tropic, thence to Cannonville, thence to Henrieville. The other designated road commences at Coyote on the east fork of the Sevier River, and runs thence via Winder on to Escalante.

Juab County

It was proposed during the biennium that the State Road Commission designate as a State Road the present old trail extending from Silver City to Tintic Junction and thence northwesterly into Tooele County, to connect with the proposed State Road at Vernon. Another designation of State Road was proposed for the old course extending from Silver City in a southwesterly direction, roughly paralleling the Salt Lake Route, into Millard County, to connect with the State Road to Oasis.

Summit County

The road from Kamas to Stewart's ranch on the Provo River was designated as a State Road and some construction work was done on it during the biennium. This road will eventually serve, together with the work the government is doing above Stewart's ranch, to open a new highway into Duchesne County.

Washington County

The system of State Roads in Washington County forms a Y, the stem end entering the county on the north at Harmony and extending southward through the town of Bellevue and on to Anderson's ranch. One branch of the Y then extends from Anderson's ranch through the towns of Leeds, Harrisburg and Washington to St. George. The other branch of the Y extends from Anderson's ranch through the towns of Toquerville, LaVerkin and Hurricane. It is proposed to extend this branch across Hurricane Bench to Kanab, to join the proposed Grand Canyon highway, which will extend from Kanab southward into Arizona
