Roads consisting of logs laid side by side were called "corduroy roads." These types of roads were commonly used in wet or marshy areas to provide a stable surface for transportation. The name derives from the resemblance of the surface to the ribbed texture of corduroy fabric. Corduroy roads were especially useful in the 19th century for facilitating travel and trade in difficult terrains.
