1980.71.27Description
Transparency of a rectangular, heavily damaged Automobile Club of Southern California road sign (A814.1) that says, "Midland Trail / To Lincoln Highway / Manzanar...11 / Independence...16 / Big Pine...[illegible] / [illegible, but likely Bishop] / Olancha...23 / Mojave...118 / Los Angeles...222." It is pictured leaning against the exterior wall of the Eastern California Museum.
Unverified information: As roads leading into Owens Valley became established, inviting more tourists, the need for installing signage became critical. What later became U.S. Highway 395 was originally the Midland Trail.Photograph Details
