Prairie road material and drainage methods proposed by Professor Turner
Illinois roads can be made cheaper and better with a dry, well packed surface soil. A mix of sand and ordinary soil, about half and half, creates a solid upper road bed when built on an underdrained foundation. Fine materials like coal ash or sand pack when wet and stay with the soil, unlike coarse gravel that sinks in soft ground.

He cites Nebraska Minneapolis Santa Barbara Texas and stockyards as examples where natural gravel beds or sand-rich soils prevent mud and sinking. He notes initial stone and gravel fixes fail but drainage and sand improve roads.
