As promised, some of my stuff from the Max's Roads thread in regards to 190, 180, 168, and other related stuff to gapped routes:
168; replies 49 and 50
- Reply 49 has discussion about Kaiser Pass Road which likely would have been utilized in a trans-Sierra crossing.
- Reply 49 has discussion about the 168 alignment change from the North Shore of Lake Huntington to the South, maps included.
- Reply 49 has discussion about the 168 alignment on Tollhouse Road through Tollhouse before 168 was realigned through Prather with maps
- Reply 50 has a couple videos of Kaiser Pass Road.
- Reply 53 seems to have an inferred routing of 168 all the way to Florence Lake on Kaiser Pass Road. It is difficult to tell for certain given that the map only contains the actual roadways and no State Signed Route Numbers.
180; replies 53 and 79
- Reply 53 has discussion about the old alignment of 180 on Dunlap Road, 65, and 245 with maps included.
- There is a inferred routing of 180 on a 1934 map most of the way through the Sierras.
- Reply 79 shows CA 180 signs in Grant Grove section of Kings Canyon National Park where there is supposedly a gap in the route.
Conjecture relevant to crossing the Sierras near the gap in CA 190 with Sherman Pass Road, J41, M50, M99, M56, and M107; replies 94,
190; replies 53 and 97
- Reply 53 shows an inferred route of 190 through the Sierras that appears to be different than the 1964 routing.
- Reply 97 shows the western half of 190 which includes the end point at M107.

I apologize in advance for the disorganization, all the above is why I started to break things up into 2-3 topics per thread. Really I was getting the gist that the thread was getting hard to follow with the shotgunned information in large posts. I want to say it was Quillz that had a map showing a full implied route of 180 through the Sierras with it popping out on Onion Valley Road sometime in the 1930s before General Grant National Park became Kings Canyon National Park? Regardless the Dunlap Road alignment of 180 might not haven't been captured yet on Cahighways that are in the listed replies above.
Edit: Found the map Quillz posted in the following thread on Reply 68:
