From route 94 designer, Bob Koen: "In case you don't know who Ralph Edwards was.... He was a homesteader in the Atnarko Valley who is credited with saving the Trumpeter Swan from extinction. We saw lots of Trumpeters in the fields out by Agassiz that day. And the route profile looks sort of like a swan in flight, so the name seemed fitting to me." Ralph Edwards (homesteader) Wikipedia
