Railway Surveyor (Sign missing)

In 1871, Walter Moberly, in charge of surveys for the mountain division of the projected Canadian trans-continental railway, built log cabins east of here for survey party "S". The preliminary surveys through Howse Pass were abandoned in 1872 in favour of the Yellowhead route, but in the end the railway used Kicking Horse Pass. Moberly Marsh and Moberly Peak honour this early surveyor in British Columbia.
