History
The road first appears on official state maps 1968, although it was not labeled as being part of Nevada's numbered highway system at that time.[3] The highway was fully paved by 1971, but still had no route number on the state map.[4] The entire road was removed from state highway maps entirely beginning with the 1973 edition.[5] Despite this, the highway officially became State Route 293 on July 1, 1976, when Nevada officials began renumbering the state's numbered routes.[6] The road returned to the state highway map, complete with the SR 293 designation, in the 1982 edition.[7]
