Latest revision as of 02:43, 2 March 2014

Nevada State Route 48 goes from I-80 near Lovelock to Highway 49 near Garrett Ranch.

Highway 48 passes through the former Sahwave Naval Gunnery Range.

Wikipedia
Nevada tourist highway map (1955?) shows the Black Rock Desert as a "Danger Area." The Sahwave is not named, but labelled as "Travel Restricted" and "Danger Area". Highway 48 through Vernon travels through the "Danger Area".
Peggy Trego, "Highway 48 Remains Open For Travel, Long May it Waver: It takes you from Lovelock to Black Rock," Nevada State Journal, March 29, 1956. The 1956 Nevada Highways map showed highway 48 as restricted.
Official highway map of Nevada (1963-1964) does not show the Black Rock Desert as restricted. However, the unnamed Sahwave is marked as "Danger Area" and "Travel Restricted" on 48.
Official highway map of Nevada (1965-1966) shows no restrictions in either the Black Rock Desert nor Sahwave.
