CA 88 Welcome Sign – Nevada and California Borders:

Location: R6WC+RCJ Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada

The Nevada Department of Transportation has begun installation of new “Welcome to Nevada” signs designed by Nevada art students. The first welcome sign was installed Wednesday, March 15, 2017 at the Nevada-California border on State Route 88 south of Minden.

The sign signifies the historical surveying efforts that established the border between California and Nevada in the 1860. Alexey Von Schmidt’s survey helped clarify the boundary and resolve disputes between the two states.
