Can't Find a Roadmap to Arizona from California. Please help!
Hello all. I am trying to figure out how one got to Blythe, CA, in 1920. Blythe was incorporated in 1916, and the i10 didn't exist until the 50s. A map I found from the 1930s showed a route that went south off Route 66, but I can't tell what the name of that route was, nor if there was another way to get to Blythe. I'm also trying to figure out if there was a more direct route to Arizona without having to take Route 66 as well. I'd appreciate any help on this one. And a map to reference would be even better. Much thanks!
