Rock River Road is an approximately 9.3-mile-long rural highway corridor located in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Tuolumne County and Stanislaus County. As presently configured Rock River Road begins at Green Springs Road (former California State Route 120) near Keystone in Tuolumne County and terminates in Willms Road near Warnerville in Stanislaus County. Rock River Road was originally known as "Oakdale and Sonora Road." This corridor was developed as highway frontage of the Sierra Railroad in the 1890s following the course of North Fork Dry Creek from Warnerville to Keystone. The name "Rock River Road" first appears on 1950s era maps and likely is a reference to a gravel pit once located on North Fork Dry Creek. The paved portion of Rock River Road in Tuolumne County has some of the most haggard asphalt conditions in California whereas the Stanislaus County portion is surfaced in well maintained gravel.
