State Route 48 is the former designation for a road connecting Lovelock to Gerlach via the Black Rock Desert and the Trinity Range mountains.[1] The road is mostly dirt and no longer maintained. However, the southernmost portion is improved and is today SR 854 and a portion of SR 399[2] It ran from what is now Interstate 80 Business (then U.S. Route 40, and before that State Route 1) at Lovelock northwest to near Eagle Picher Mine, then northwest along unimproved roads towards the Black Rock Desert where the road ends at State Route 49 east of Gerlach.[3] The route was decommissioned as part of the mass renumbering project that began in 1976.
