Summary

[edit]
Description

Today, not much of the plank road remains. The remaining fragments have been designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. The historical significance the plank road has played in early American transportation and western migration history led the State of California to designate it as a California Historical Landmark on January 21, 1971; it was also determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. (Dept. of Parks and Recreation 2009) Remnants of the Plank Road are protected and the fenced section may be viewed up close at the west end of Grays Well Road by exiting Interstate 8 at the Grays Well road exit. A Plank Road Monument and interpretive wayside panels are located there.
