What Wikipedia says

A corduroy road or log road is a type of road or timber trackway made by placing logs perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low or swampy area. This is an improvement from mud or dirt roads. However, they are still rough in the best of conditions, and the shifting logs can pose a hazard for horses.
