Thank you for your compliments. US 99 was the main route from the Imperial Valley to San Bernardino. State 111 would have been the alternative between US 80 and Indio.

I’ve been documenting my grandparents migration west on US 80 in 1936. They came from Philadelphia down to Meridian. Ms where they joined 80 west. It is very difficult to get views of the highway by it’s self. There are lots of postcards of cities but I wanted more than that and you have helped me understand the sometimes confusing alignments of this highway. I’ll bet you, a lot of politics went into determining the route of this Highway. Just to add, I was, as a child, a frequent user of Hwy 99 from Portland, Or to Stockton, Ca. in the late 40’s through to and beyond the creation of I-5. Thank you again. I do have one question, if you might respond, What would have been the main route from 80 north past the Salton Sea to San Berdoo !
