Description
$98,500 in federal funds was spent during the Great Depression on grading and paving 4.4 miles of California Route 4 from Saugus to the non-existant community of Oak Grove.
A researcher’s best guess based on a Wikipedia article about former Route 99 (or Legislative Route 99 as they were once termed) and an old topographical map, is that the route constructed is Railroad Ave north from Newhall to Magic Mountain Parkway to what is now I-5.
