State Route 518 began at the intersection of Snyder Avenue and South Carson Street (U.S. Route 395 & U.S. Route 50) in southern Carson City. From there, the route headed southeast along the two-lane Snyder Avenue into lightly populated areas of the city. After a little more than a mile (1.6 km), the state highway came to an end at Jacobsen Way, although Snyder Avenue continues southeast to serve rural areas. [2]

Located at the end of former State Route 518 on Snyder Avenue is the State of Nevada's Stewart Complex. Opened in 1890, the facility was operated by the federal government as an Indian boarding school focusing on vocational skills. Originally, students were primarily from the Washo, Paiute and Shoshone Indian tribes, but the center eventually expanded to educate Indian students of all cultures across the United States. The federal government closed the school in 1980, with Nevada officials gradually acquiring the campus over the next several years. The site is now used as a state office and training facility, and is home to the Nevada Indian Commission and the Stewart Indian Museum and Trading Post. [3] [4]

History

SR 518 was previously designated as State Route 36. Nevada 36.svg
SR 518 was previously designated as State Route 36.

SR 518 had been in Nevada's state highway system since at least 1936. By this time, the highway was shown on Nevada maps as State Route 36, a paved road connecting US 395/US 50 to what was then labeled as the Carson Indian School. [5] The route designation stayed the same until July 1, 1976. On that date, Nevada officials began renumbering the state's highways, assigning State Route 518 to the road serving the Stewart school. [6] At their meeting on November 14, 2018, the Nevada Department of Transportation's Board of Directors voted to transfer ownership of SR 518 to Carson City. [7] [8]

U.S. Route 395, also known as U.S. Highway 395, is a north–south United States Numbered Highway that traverses the inland areas of the western states of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. It travels for over 1,300 miles (2,100 km) from a junction in the Mojave Desert at Interstate 15 (I-15) in Hesperia to the Canada–U.S. border near Laurier, Washington. Major cities along its route include Carson City and Reno in Nevada; Kennewick and Pasco in Washington's Tri-Cities region; and Spokane, Washington. US 395 is an auxiliary route of US 95 but never intersects its parent route, which runs further east.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">California State Route 14</span> State highway in Los Angeles and Kern counties in California, United States

State Route 14 (SR 14) is a north–south state highway in the U.S. state of California that connects Los Angeles to the northern Mojave Desert. The southern portion of the highway is signed as the Antelope Valley Freeway. Its southern terminus is at Interstate 5 in the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Granada Hills and Sylmar just immediately to the south of the border of the city of Santa Clarita. SR 14's northern terminus is at U.S. Route 395 (US 395) near Inyokern. Legislatively, the route extends south of I-5 to SR 1 in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles; however, the portion south of the junction with I-5 has not been constructed. The southern part of the constructed route is a busy commuter freeway serving and connecting the cities of Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Lancaster to the rest of the Greater Los Angeles area. The northern portion, from Vincent to US 395, is legislatively named the Aerospace Highway, as the highway serves Edwards Air Force Base, once one of the primary landing strips for NASA's Space Shuttle, as well as the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake that supports military aerospace research, development and testing. This section is rural, following the line between the hot Mojave desert and the forming Sierra Nevada mountain range. Most of SR 14 is loosely paralleled by a rail line originally built by the Southern Pacific Railroad, and was once the primary rail link between Los Angeles and Northern California. While no longer a primary rail line, the southern half of this line is now used for the Antelope Valley Line of the Metrolink commuter rail system.
