Description
The federal government (probably the Bureau of Public Roads) provided $75,000 for grading and shoulders on 15 miles of the county road between Orland and Willows, closely paralleling the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. This is part of today’s State Highway 99W, which runs north-south just east of Interstate 5.
