U.S. Highway 99
Ridge Route (L.A.-Bakersfield)

Linen postcard, c. 1950, entitled "Winding Through the Mountains on U.S. Highway 99." Highway 99 was carved through the canyons in 1933, bypassing the 18-year-old Ridge Route that connected Los Angeles with Bakersfield. Highway 99 would be replaced in the mid-1960s by Interstate 5.
