line of section 29, township 19, range 46, and runs in an almost direct line northwest to Broadwater, where it crosses the river to the south side and follows along comparatively close to the river about five miles. Then it runs west for about two and a half miles, and then north and west for short distances until it reaches the Guthrie ranch. Then it runs west from the Guthrie ranch until it strikes the Burlington railroad about five miles southeast of Bridgeport, which it follows to that city.

The road crosses the river again at Bridgeport and follows along closely to the river to near the railroad crossing tower at Northport, this being a departure from the present traveled road which runs through the sand hills immediately northwest from Northport, and will make a much better road. The road crosses the railroad tracks near the tower at the north end of the new Burlington railroad bridge, and follows along the south side of the Burlington railroad in a northwesterly direction for about two miles, where it crosses the railroad track and again runs approximately northwest till it strikes the old Bayard read at the west side of the big sand hill east of the De- Graw beet dump. This cuts out the big hill with its sand and hard climbing. The new road then practically follows the old road until it reaches Bayard.

From Bayard the new road runs north four miles, which is some departure from the old road that used to run west from Bayard past the sugar factory, the commissioners desiring to get the road away from the "seep land" near the sugar factory that has made the road so hard to travel and keep up. From the point four miles north of Bayard the new road runs straight west until it enters Scotts Bluff county.
