Near the end of its route, the highway turned west before meeting its northern terminus, at an intersection with
SR 564/
SR 147.
Signage for the route was removed by 2000, and according to a park ranger, the route is a park service road, and the signs were only put up to "make it easier for tourists."

Echo Bay Airport, and another road led to Overton Beach on Lake Mead. The road turned west and quickly reached its northeastern terminus at

State Route 291
State Route 291 (SR 291) was a two-lane
state highway in
Humboldt County. It served a sparsely populated section of the state, connecting northwestern Nevada to southern
Oregon

. Most of the highway was originally part of
SR 8A, and was later improved through an effort to provide an all-weather highway linking northern Nevada to the Pacific Northwest.
When Nevada officials began the process of
renumbering the state's highways in 1976, SR 140 was planned to be redesignated as State Route 291. The proposed route number was first seen on the 1978 version of the state's highway map.
Once the renumbering process was finished in the early 1980s, however, the highway retained the SR 140 designation it has today. The route has remained relatively unchanged since.
State Route 378
State Route 378 (SR 378) was a
state highway in
Nye County
Nye County is a county in the U.S. state of Nevada. As of the 2020 census, the population was 51,591. Its county seat is Tonopah. At , Nye is Nevada's largest county by area and the third-largest county in the contiguous United States, behi ...
. It connected the community of
Round Mountain to
SR 376. The highway originated as State Route 70 in 1941 and was later renumbered to State Route 92 before becoming SR 378 in 1976. The route was removed from the state highway system by 1999 to make way for an expansion of the adjacent
Round Mountain Gold Mine

.
State Route 378 began at a junction with SR 376 in the
Big Smoky Valley of northwestern Nye County. From here, the road ran in an easterly direction towards Round Mountain.
Nearing the town, the route curved southeast following Mariposa Drive for about to its terminus at the intersection of Main Street.
An unimproved road resembling the modern highway alignment first appears on state maps in 1941, connecting the community of Round Mountain to
SR 8A (now SR 376). This road was designated as SR 70 the following year. By 1946, pavement had been placed along the route.
By 1965, the SR 70 designation was removed from the highway and replaced with SR 92, potentially to align the 70 designation to a road that met with California's State Route 70.
In the
1976 renumbering of Nevada's state routes, the recently designated SR 92 was dropped in favor of State Route 378. This numbering change was first seen on state highway maps in 1978.
SR 378 remained unchanged on official maps until 1999, when the route number and road itself was removed from the state highway map. A new road to Round Mountain reappeared on the next version of the map, albeit realigned and without a route number. The original highway alignment was enveloped by the expansion of the Round Mountain Gold Mine.
State Route 428
State Route 428 (SR 428) is a former highway in
Washoe County. It followed ''Eastlake Boulevard'' through
New Washoe City and along the east side of

, near the present-day Eastlake Boulevard interchange just north of
Carson City. From there, the highway curved north to follow the eastern shores of Washoe Lake. Near the northeast corner of the lake, the road diverged north to head towards New Washoe City. Outside of the town, SR 428 terminated at another junction on US 395 between
Washoe City and
Pleasant Valley.
Eastlake Boulevard first appears on state highway maps in 1942 as State Route 3B, an unimproved road branching from
State Route 3 (now
US 395 Alt) at both ends. The highway had been completely paved by 1969.
The route underwent no significant other changes until it was renumbered as State Route 428 in the 1978 statewide highway renumbering.
State Route 428 disappeared from state highway maps by 1983. However, the southern of the highway, near the
Interstate 580/US 395 interchange, are still maintained by
NDOT as a frontage road (FR WA45).
State Route 429
State Route 429 (SR 429) was a rural state highway located in southern
Washoe County. It followed Bowers Mansion Road, a former alignment of
US 395

. The SR 429 designation was retired in 2012, and the route has since become part of
US 395 Alt. SR 429 began at Hobart Road, near the
Carson City –
Washoe County line immediately adjacent to present-day
Interstate 580 (I-580) and US 395. From this point, the SR 429 paralleled US 395 northward for about and then shifted westward to follow the foothills of the mountains to the west. The highway continued northward past
Bowers Mansion State Park before turning east to terminate at US 395 just south of
Washoe City.
State Route 442
State Route 485
State Route 485 (SR 485) was a
state highway in
White Pine County. It provided access to the town of
Ruth
Ruth (or its variants) may refer to:

, about west of
Ely. SR 485 ran west to the mining town of Ruth. The road's pavement ends slightly west of Ruth, although a dirt road continues back near the former site of
Riepetown.
The road to Ruth was established as State Route 44 by 1935. At that time, the route was shown on official state maps as being a paved road connecting the former town of
Kimberly to US 50 via Ruth. By 1941, SR 44 appears to have been altered and then comprised two roadways, a road to Ruth and a spur to Kimberly;. a routing which was defined by state highway law. Although maps are unclear, it appears the road to Ruth was eliminated prior to 1964, and the spur to Kimberly was retained as SR 44. The town of Ruth may have been relocated along the highway as well, in concordance with open pit mining operations in the area.
SR 44 remained unchanged for many years, until the
1976 renumbering of Nevada's state highways. In that process, SR 44 was to be replaced by SR 485. However, the new designation was not retained through the state's renumbering process; SR 485 last appeared on the 1980–1981 state highway map while the numbering transition was still underway.
State Route 486
State Route 486 (SR 486) was a state highway in
White Pine County. The roadway was turned over to local control in the 1990s. Immediately before the route number was retired, the SR 486 designation encompassed Duck Creek Road, which started at the south end of pavement in the middle of Duck Creek Valley. It went north down the valley, then turned west and exited at Gallagher Gap, following the course of Duck Creek. Once through the gap, it continued west until it intersected

/US 93 (Steptoe Creek Road) appeared on state maps before the
1976 renumbering of Nevada's state routes, but had no state designation. The designation of SR 486 was first seen on state highway maps in 1978 and included the entire loop (known as Success Loop), but was scaled back to the paved northern portion by 1982. SR 486 remained unchanged on official maps until 1995, when the route number was removed from the state highway map. The entire loop is now part of White Pine County Route 29,
though some agencies, including the Nevada Division of State Parks and
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, still refer to part or all of the road as SR 486.
State Route 489
State Route 489 (SR 489) was a
state highway that connected the near ghost town of
Cherry Creek to
US 93

White Pine County. The roadway was turned over to local control in the 1990s.The SR 489 designation started at US 93. It went west across
Steptoe Valley and ended at the end of pavement in Cherry Creek, which is now almost deserted but was once a thriving town because of silver and gold located in the area. Cherry Creek Road continues west, however the section west of Cherry Creek has never had a state route number.
Before the
1976 renumbering of Nevada's state routes, the road from US 93 to Cherry Creek was designated SR 35. The change to SR 489 was first seen on state highway maps in 1978. SR 489 remained unchanged on official maps until 1993, when the route number was removed from the state highway map. Both the paved and unpaved sections of Cherry Creek Road are now part of White Pine County Route 21.
