A. L. Westgard

Anton L. Westgard (1865 in Norway – 3 April 1921), called "the Pathfinder", was a highway pioneer and photographer.

Westgard was appointed by Federal Highway Administration Director Logan Page to research appropriate locations for the first transcontinental highways.

Westgard's 1911 cross-country field survey via automobile ultimately led to what would become the Lincoln Highway.

[1] Westgard Pass between the White and Inyo mountain ranges in the Basin and Range Province of California is named after Westgard.
