is not assigned to a post-1964 route.
Pre-1964 Legislative RouteIn 1959, Chapter 1062 defined LRN 277 as “[LRN 78] east of Temecula to [LRN 65] east of Anza”.
It appears that instead of building a new alignment for LRN 277 (as
planned in the 1960 state highway map), the Division of Highways opted to
assume maintenance of Cahuilla Road and Kenworthy-Bautista Road. LRN 277
can be seen aligned over Cahuilla Road and Kenworthy-Bautista Road on the
1962 Division of Highways State Map.

This segment became Route 71 in the 1964 great renumbering. In 1967, this route was first signed as Route 71 from Route 79 E of Temecula to Route 74 E of Anza. In 1974, as a side effect of the creation of I-15 S of I-10, all of Route 71 S of Route 91 was renumbered. The original eastern section, between Temecula and Route 74 E of Anza, was divided into two routes. The portion from what had been US 395 (now I-15) near Temecula to Aguanga was renumbered as part of Route 79 (previously, this stretch had been cosigned as Route 71/Route 79); this stretch was part of LRN 78. The stretch between Aguanga and Route 74 was renumbered as Route 371; this is LRN 277.
