Nevada State Route 723
Route description
SR 723 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of downtown Fallon. From there, the highway runs northward along Soda Lake Road, a two-lane road through mostly residential and rural agricultural areas. The highway follows Soda Lake Road due north for about 2 miles (3.2 km) before reaching its terminus at an intersection with Cox Road, on the southeastern flank of the Soda Lakes volcano.
Near the northern end of SR723 are the Soda Lakes, Soda Lake Geothermal Plant, now-closed Coast Guard LORAN-C transmitter Fallon and some farms around the periphery of Soda Lakes.
History
The alignment of present-day SR 723 appears on maps as early as 1937. However, it was not designated as a state highway until January 1, 1978.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Churchill County.
