There's a corduroy  in Alaska. Part of the Petersville Road (south of
Denali National Park), going west from Trapper Creek still has portions of
the original corduroy road exposed.

Though as far as any literature is concerned, I'm not aware of any, though
I've never really looked. I know the person who used to be one of the State
Historians with Alaska used to be interested in that road, but she's since
moved on from that position. I could ask her if you'd like.
