Walter Moberly played a significant role in the construction of the Dewdney Trail, partnering with Edgar Dewdney. As a land surveyor, Moberly worked under Moody's Land & Works Department to build a pack trail from Hope to the mining camps of the Similkameen valley, which later became a wagon road [1][2][3]. They won the contract to build the trail, which was crucial for the economic development of southern British Columbia [4][5]. Moberly not only helped construct the trail but also improved it from the Similkameen to the Okanagan [1]. His involvement was not limited to the physical construction; he also contributed to the planning and surveying aspects of the project [6][7]. Images related to the Dewdney Trail can be found in various sources, depicting the trail's historical significance and the landscape it traversed [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].
