[Click here for a key to the symbols used. Some county routes were constructed with federal funds. These routes are indicated as FAP (Federal Aid Primary), FAU (Federal Aid Urban), or FAS (Federal Aid Secondary). If no funding source is shown, no federal funds were used. Note that while some segments seem to have the same attributes, they may differ in the county-local road number assigned to the segment, or in the Caltrans Map Sheet number.]

History and Signage Information
This route appears to
have been defined in 1964-1966, with an additional segment that ran from
Turlock to Los Banos along what is now Route 165. In 1970, Chapter 1473
redefined Route 165 to "Route 5 south of Los Banos to Route 99 near
Turlock.". The remainder of the route remained as County Sign Route J14. This is shown on
the 1966 Gousha Map.
(Supporting Source and Hat Tip: Gribblenation Blog
"California State Route 162 to the Bidwell Bar Bridge (both the 1965 and 1856 variants)")
County Sign Route J14 south of Route 99 in Turlock to Route 152/Route 33 in Los Banos
was spun off into the second designation of Route 165 by way of 1970
Legislative Chapter 1473. The second Route 165 was defined as a
38-mile highway between Route 99 in Turlock to I-5 approximately 9 miles
south of Los Banos. The creation of the second Route 165 aligns with
the opening of I-5 in the Los Banos area. Route 165 seemingly was
designated to permit access from a State maintained facility in Los Banos
to both I-5 and Route 99. It is not clear if County Sign Route J14 ever reached I-5
when freeway opened south of Los Banos. As of 1975, the unbuilt
segment of Route 165 between Stevinson to Turlock likely was not up to
State standards and probably was signed as County Sign Route J14. By 1979, Route 165 was completed to Turlock. It was likely at this point that County Sign Route J14 was truncated to Route 99.
