California State Route 198 in the context of Coalinga, California

The Generals Highway is a highway that connects State Route 180 and State Route 198 through Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and Kings Canyon National Park in the Sierra Nevada of California. As the road goes through national parks and monuments, the highway is primarily maintained by the federal government instead of a California State Highway controlled by Caltrans.

State Route 41 (SR 41) is a state highway in the U.S. State of California, connecting the Central Coast with the San Joaquin Valley and the Sierra Nevada. Its southern terminus is at the Cabrillo Highway (SR 1) in Morro Bay, and its northern terminus is in Yosemite National Park. It has been constructed as an expressway from near SR 198 in Lemoore north to the south part of Fresno, where the Yosemite Freeway begins, passing along the east side of downtown and extending north into Madera County. Though maps and signs may show the highway extending north inside Yosemite National Park from its entrance to Yosemite Valley, this segment is federally maintained and is not included in the state route logs.

State Route 65 (SR 65) is a north-south state highway in the U.S. state of California that consists of two non-contiguous segments in the Central Valley. The route, originally known as the Eastside Freeway, was envisioned as a major freeway following the east side of the valley near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, similar to the Westside Freeway (Interstate 5) on the opposite side of the valley. Of the estimated 300 miles (480 km), only 95 miles (153 km) were constructed due to funding issues, environmental concerns, and low population growth.

The southern segment begins at SR 99, near Bakersfield and terminates at SR 198 near Exeter. It also serves the communities of Oildale, Ducor, Terra Bella, Porterville, Strathmore, and Lindsay. The northern segment begins at Interstate 80 in Roseville and terminates at SR 70 at Olivehurst. It also serves the communities of Rocklin, Lincoln, and Wheatland. If built, the center segment would serve the communities of Ivanhoe, Reedley, Sanger, Waterford, and Oakdale.
