The following link is a 1965 episode of Death Valley Days starring Ronald Reagan as the leader of a group of mining engineers/surveyors/developers.?ÿ The climactic scene involves staking out a city along a river.?ÿ Nice story.?ÿ Under "Trivia" it reports this to be Ronald Reagan's last acting role.?ÿ I beg to differ.?ÿ I'm pretty certain that happened somewhere during his term as President.

This is a pretty cool short film.

Yes, that was cool. But a little disturbing.

Lots of familiar names in the credits.  What is the history of that?

As I recall, the writer/producer chatted with us here while he was developing his project.

I see where Daryl Moistner is a producer.

I'm not sure about the history, but I recognize a lot of the names also.  Perhaps one of the listed credits who frequents this site can enlighten us how this came together.

Searching for western movies with land surveyors turned up this:?ÿ https://truewestmagazine.com/walking-the-line-2/

A lot of the names are probably familiar, but some of the references may not be.

Have to take it with a grain of salt, though, 'cause the author lives in North Carolina.
