Abstract

During the construction of the interstate highway system, large amounts of fill were required to build up roadbeds and ramps. This fill was obtained from sites adjacent to the highway, creating large holes or borrow pits. While attempts were made to fill and grade some of these pits, many remained and eventually filled with water. Over the years, the borrow pit has been sought out for development and in the process a new roadside settlement feature has been created.
