Anton L. Westgard (1865 in Norway – 3 April 1921), called "the Pathfinder", was a highway pioneer and photographer. Westgard was appointed by Federal Highway Administration Director Logan Page to research appropriate locations for the first transcontinental highways. Westgard's 1911 cross-country field survey via automobile ultimately led to what would become the Lincoln Highway. Westgard also mapped the National Park to Park Highway for the Automobile Association of America in 1920.
