Highway 34 is the old name for Nevada State Route 447.

  • Nevada State Route 34 (Wikipedia)
  • Larry Wilson, "Small towns hit the ‘bust’ in Nevada’s ‘boom and bust’ history," Sparks Tribune, 2011. "The first time I went to the area was in the mid-1950s. In those days, the road was gravel once you got past the sand dunes north of Nixon, an Indian community 50 or so miles south of Gerlach."
  • John Burns; Frank Johnson (1954). "Residents of Gerlach Like to Think of It As One of the last Genuine Frontier Towns". Nevada State Journal. "J. J. Thrasher, ... says the solution to Gerlach's problem lies in completed the paving of Highway 34 to the south and the surfacing of highway 81 north to the California line near Eagleville."
  • W.C. Sinclair, "Ground Water Appraisal of the Black Rock Desert Area, Northwestern Nevada," "State Route 34 is paved from Gerlach south to U.S. 40. ... State Route 81 is also paved part of the 55 miles from Gerlach to the California State Line and to Cedarville, 25 miles beyond."
