State Route 90 was a short state highway in Nye County, Nevada that served the town of Rhyolite.

Route description

State Route 90 began at the small town of Rhyolite. The road curved east around a small mountain to connect to State Route 58 (now State Route 374) about two miles (3 km) southwest of Beatty.[1]

History

State Route 90 first appears as an unimproved road on official state maps in 1960[2] and was graded by 1969.[3]

In 1978, Nevada began changing its state route numbers in an effort to simplify and consolidate its numbering system. The 1978-79 state highway map showed new route numbers along with the original numbers, but SR 90 was not shown with a new number.[1] The route, having never been paved, was removed from the state highway system by 1982.[4] Rhyolite is now reachable by a paved road that connects to SR 374 south of the town, instead of to the east as SR 90 did.
