State Route 293 (SR 293) is a state highway in Humboldt County, Nevada. It connects the Kings River Valley to U.S. Route 95 at the town of Orovada.
SR 293 begins at a Nevada Department of Transportation monument in the north-central portion of Humboldt County, just a few miles east of the Kings River. [1] [2] From there, the route heads east through a mountain pass and then southward. After crossing the Quinn River, SR 293 heads eastward through the Quinn River Valley to its terminus at US 95 at the town of Orovada. [2]
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]
The entire route is in Humboldt County.
