Post 1964 Signage History
1963-1965: Gilman Springs Road
In 1963, Route 177 was defined as “Route 79 near San Jacinto
to Route 60 near Moreno.” The routing was approximately along Gilman Springs Road. Lamb Canyon Road (now Route 79) was completed as a through
route in early '63; At that point, Route 79's alignment was shifted off
the north end of Gilman Springs Road and onto Lamb Canyon, and Route 177
was created for Gilman Springs Road.
In 1965, Chapter 1372 deleted this route.
Post-1972: Near Desert Center
In 1972, Chapter 1216 defined a new routing: “Route 10 near
Desert Center to Route 62 near Granite Pass.” It was built out over
the existing Rice Road.
Pre 1964 Signage History
The 1964-1965 routing was part of Route 79, and was originally part of
LRN 194. In 1959, the legislative route number was changed to LRN 186. It
was signed by 1963, but was not part of the 1934 definition of Route 79.
The post-1972 routing was not defined in 1963.
There was no signed Route 177 as part of the initial state signage of
routes in 1934. It is unclear what (if any) route was signed as Route 177
between 1934 and 1964.
