History
From 1862 Devils Canyon was the route of a wagon road between San Diego and Yuma, Arizona. The canyon later became the route of the westbound lanes of Interstate 8 that pass up the canyon to Mountain Spring. The eastbound lanes use a different alignment through the In-Ko-Pah Gorge.{{cite web|title=Interstate 8 East|url=https://www.aaroads.com/california/i-008ed_ca.html|accessdate=4 January 2018}}
