Nevada State Route 7

Nevada State Route 7

State Route 7 was one of Nevada’s original state highways, originally appearing on official state maps in the late 1920’s. The route log on the 1929 map shows it as running 277.5 miles from Ely to Las Vegas via Connor’s Pass, Pioche, Caliente, Alamo, and Moapa. However, the actual map shows the highway extending only as far south as Caliente. The road south from Caliente to Moapa is shown as a county road.

By 1932, SR-7 was extended south of Caliente and was part of the newly extended U.S. Route 93 between Ely and Glendale. The length is now shown as 301.0 miles. SR-7 was now duplicated by other routes for its entire length.

With the extension of U.S. Route 6 into Nevada in 1937, the section from Connor’s Pass to Ely became US-6/US-93/SR-7.

SR-7 was removed from official state highway maps by 1939, but reappeared on the 1967 map along a section of its original route. At that time, US-93 was realigned from 24 miles northwest of Glendale onto a new, more direct route south to extended U.S. Route 91 . This bypassed Glendale and provided a more direct route between Caliente and Las Vegas. The former alignment to Glendale became the second SR-7. It was renumbered to State Route 168 as part of a statewide highway renumbering in 1978.
