In 1858, hearing of the overland route, the U.S. Army sent an expedition led by Captain James H. Simpson to survey it for a military road to get supplies to the Army's Camp Floyd in Utah. Simpson came back with a surveyed route that was also about 280 miles (450 km) shorter than the "standard" California Trail route along the Humboldt River.
State routes in a county are grouped together with similar numbers, which are assigned in order based upon alphabetical order of county names. SR 28, SR 88 and SR 140 are the three exceptions to this numbering scheme—all three are highways that continue into an adjoining state, making SR 28 and SR 88 the only state highways assigned a two ...

The final 1.5 miles (2.4 km) sees the route turn more directly eastward to enter the town of Wells. SR 231 comes to its northern terminus at the intersection of Angel Lake Road and Humboldt Avenue in Wells, just south of Interstate 80. [1] [2] Angel Lake Road may be closed to travel during winters.
After crossing over the Marys River and, quickly thereafter, the Humboldt River, [3] SR 230 meets Starr Valley Loop (which continues south to Nevada State Route 229) before heading eastward. After about 1.7 miles (2.7 km), the route turns northeast, passing near the edge of the Humboldt National Forest. The road then turns abruptly northward to ...
U.S. Route 93 was not one of the original U.S. highways proposed in the 1925 Bureau of Public Roads plan. [citation needed] However, the revised numbering plan approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) on November 11, 1926 established US 93 from the Canada–US border near Eureka, Montana south through Montana and Idaho to a southern terminus at Wells, Nevada.

The following is a list of past and present U.S. Routes in the U.S. state of Nevada. All active mainline and alternate routes are maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation. Some active special routes are maintained by local municipalities, and may not be signed on the route itself.
The highway follows the business route west and then north approximately 0.28 miles (0.45 km) to intersect Interstate 80. [4] US 93 Alt then joins I-80 and travels west concurrently with the Interstate for 59 miles (95 km). US 93 Alt. comes to an end in the city of Wells, reuniting with mainline US 93 at the I-80 East Wells interchange (exit 352).
