Missouri Army National Guard Col. Frederick J. West stops along the Walden Point Road to show some dried indigenous, muskeg. Muskeg is made up of layers of decomposing dead plants and trees. Along the road, the muskeg had to be dug out, sometimes as much as 30-feet deep, and refilled with rock and soil. One strip dubbed “muskeg flats” was 3,000 meters long, or nearly two miles.
