Description
27.5 miles of road shoulder along Evan Hewes Highway were oiled under a federal project totaling $50,000 during the Great Depression. The project spanned the road length between the Highline Canal to the East Side Sand Hills. The road used to be known as California Route 27; it was originally a plank road.
