George Smith Road

[Max Rockatansky]

George Smith Road is an approximately 5.5-mile rural highway located in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Fresno County.  As presently configured George Smith Road begins at California State Route 180 (Kings Canyon Road) in Yokuts Valley (previously Squaw Valley) and winds above a ridge overlooking Shannon Valley to Ennis Road. 

George Smith Road was developed as the Sand Creek Cutoff Road and originally ended in Tulare County.  The roadway appears renamed after Smith Ranch beginning in the 1930s.  During the 1950s and 1960s George Smith Road would be altered heavily.  The 1960s alteration truncated the corridor away from Tulare County and realigned it to Ennis Road.
