description

Summary

Significance: The Haystack Creek Culvert is one of approximately seventeen prominent masonry and concrete structures on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The 51-mile stretch of scenic road is significant as a unique engineering accomplishment of the early twentieth century as as the first product of a 1925 cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public Roads. As in other structures on the road, the culvert's designers used a masonry arch facade to make it blend into the park scenery.
