Fictenburg Road

During the 1918 improvement of the Sunset Highway, a new section was built from Telford to Davenport. This bypassed the old state road along Cottonwood Creek. In 1933, the highway was improved again and is the highway we drive on today. Southeast of Telford this new construction smoothed out a curve that had followed the curve of the railroad to the section line before turning eastward. The section of old highway that was bypassed is now called Fictenburg Road.
