The turn off for this road, for those not acquainted, is a right turn off Highway 395 north between Viewland and Mud Flat. The first road in that section going to Nevada was Noble’s Emigrant Trail of the 1850s. Over the years, the route was slowly modified. The road we know today was constructed by the Secret Valley CCC camp in 1937. These men also did significant work on the road across Mud Flat, as well as road work between Ash Valley and Madeline.
