The junction of Nevada 447 and CR 34. Notice that the shield for CR 34 is a circle, this is to indicate that CR 34 is not a state route.

State Route 34[1] is a decommissioned state highway in Nevada from prior to the state's highway restructuring in 1978. Today, a portion of former SR 34 is maintained by the Washoe County as a county highway with the not well known designation CR 34.[2][3] A portion of State Route 447 was formerly SR 34,[4] though the former SR 34 road bed is still used from Gerlach, Nevada to near Vya, Nevada.[5]

History

[edit | edit source]

In the 1950s, the pavement ended and became gravel[6] just past the sand dunes north of Nixon. In 1951, the pavement ended 9 miles (14 km) south of Gerlach.[7] In 1953, the paving was still incomplete and State Route 81 from Gerlach to the California state line was not surfaced.[8] By 1956, the road was paved to Gerlach[9][10] and State Route 81 was partly paved from Gerlach to the California State Line.

Before 1978, SR 34 followed present day SR 447 route, from Gerlach to Wadsworth, Nevada.[11]

Major intersections

[edit | edit source]

The entire route is in Washoe County.
