Signed County Route J28

While returning from the Sierra Nevada Gap in California State Route 190 I decided to take Signed County Route J28 to get CA 65 to access the Fresno Area a little faster. From CA 190 the route of Signed County Route J28 starts on Road 320.

Signed County Route J28 is an approximately 18.5 mile Signed County Route that was defined in 1970 according to CAhighways. CR J28 is presently unsigned like the overwhelming majority of the Signed County Routes in Tulare County.

CR J28 westward quickly transitions on Mountain Route 176 where it meets Holdridge Drive at Road 276.

Road 320 and Mountain Route 176 were part of the original alignment of CA 190 prior to the completion of the Lake Success Reservoir. I touched on the original CA 190 alignment which can be found on this blog below:

As stated above CR J28 swings north on Road 276.

From Road 276 the route of CR J28 swings west onto Avenue 196.

CR J28 continues on Avenue 196 where it enters Strathmore. At Orange Belt Drives CR J28 crosses the original alignment of CA 65 which now part of CR J29.

My previous article concerning the south segment of CA 65 and it's alignment history can be found here:

About a block west of CR J29 the route of CR 28 meets the modern alignment of CA 65. CR J28 actually continues a couple miles west of this junction to Plainview and Road 196 which carries CR J27.

Madera County Road 607 and the Stockton-Los Angeles Road

Madera County Road 607 is an approximately seven-mile rural unsurfaced highway which spans from Road 600 near Raymond west to Road 29. Road 607 west from Raymond Road Cemetery (established in 1905) is part of the Stockton-Los Angeles Road corridor surveyed in 1853. The corridor lies in the gap between Fresno Crossing at the Fresno River west to Newton's Crossing at the Chowchilla River. The Buchanan Copper Mine would be along what is now Road 607 in the namesake Buchanan Hollow during July 1863. The Buchanan Mine is thought to have once had a population of between 1,000-1,500 residents by the early 1870s. Copper prices would decline in the decade after the Civil War and much of the activity at Buchanan shifted towards cattle ranching. The last businesses in the community would shutter during World War II and it is now a true ghost town.

Old US Route 60/70 through Hell (Chuckwall Valley Road and Ragsdale Road)

Back in 2016 I explored some of the derelict roadways of the Sonoran Desert of Riverside County which were part of US Route 60/70; Chuckwalla Valley Road and Ragsdale Road. US 60 and US 70 were not part of the original run of US Routes in California. According to USends.com US 60 was extended into California by 1932. US 60 doesn't appear on the California State Highway Map until the 1934 edition.
