Historical Markers of Clark County & Las Vegas
Location: San Bernardino County, Calif, Laughlin-Needles Area Directions: Along Needles Highway, 1 mile south of NV state line (Access via SR 163, 1 mile west of Laughlin, then south for 7 miles)
N 35° 00.855 W 114° 39.710
Date Conquered: 3/15/09 Quick Description: A marker cataloguing the early cartographic efforts and survey boundary marking Nevada's official state line with California. Signed: No -- This marker has never been signed considering it sits within California and out of the jurisdiction of Nevada. Only a sign for SHL 859 (CA's "Von Schmidt Marker") sits unnecessarily on the northbound side of the road. Superlative! Even it technically lies in California, [188] is geographically Nevada's southernmost historical marker Also! At 410 feet, [188] is Nevada's LOWEST MARKER IN ELEVATION. These superlatives are debatable since this marker sits technically outside of Nevada borders. As such, #188 may not qualify for either of these titles. My "Marker Superlatives" are given to markers that sit within Nevada's boundaries. Obviously, [188] Von Schmidt fuels a bit of a dilemma. Write me and let me know what you think. NOTES: Yes folks, you read it correctly. As ridiculous as it sounds, [188] Von Schmidt Boundary Memorial is actually in California. Notice the extremely high rating of "Visibility" for this marker and no ... this isn't an exaggeration! If it wasn't for California signing their way to SHL 859 (their version of the Von Schmidt Marker), the typical Nevadan would never know this marker was here. To make it worse, this one sits well back from the highway making it nearly impossible to see from the road. Although this is a great location for this marker, [188] suffers from its lack of signage and its odd locality. Unfortunately, if any signage for this marker would be erected, it would have to be a collaborative effort between NDOT and CalTrans. With all that said, here's what you need to do to bag this bothersome marker. First, note that "Needles Highway, "well-marked from SR 163, is considered a backroad or both Nevada and California cutting across the desert. Depending on the season, traffic may or may not flood this road, but be aware that it can get crowded very quickly, doubly making this conquering a real pain in the ass. Also, know that this highway is very different once you cross the state line! Once you cross over into California, that smooth, wide Nevada-section of Needles Highway suddenly turns ugly (photos below) -- a narrow and potholed, two-lane son-of-a-gun that motorists whiz by at 65MPH! Not only is this a dangerous speed for such a little road, it makes it practically impossible to look for [188] (especially with the typical California throwback tailgating you.) Here is the sign that will greet you upon crossing into California ... I never thought I'd have to set foot into the Golden State to conquer a NEVADA historical marker. At least California could've erected a "WELCOME" sign. Congratulations, the battle is halfway over. If it wasn't for California signing their way to SHL 859 (their version of the Von Schmidt Marker), the typical Nevadan would never know this marker was here. NDOT placed this marker so far back from the pavement that even catching a glimpse of it in the corner of your eye is a stroke of luck. I speak for myself that if I hadn't seen the sign for SHL 859 in my rear mirror, I could've easily kept on driving! Here is the view you'll get as you pass the marker. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Can you spot the marker? Notice the poor quality of the road in the f.g. Good luck seeing this one from the road. Ideally, keep a look out for the giant sign for the AVI Casino, at the intersection with Aha Macav Parkway about 1 mile south of the state line. The turnout for Von Schmidt is literally five seconds south of this junction on the left. If you see the photo below, turn around and head back the way you came. Good luck! If you're seeing this, you've passed the marker! (View looking northbound on Needles Hwy.) Full Description: Exact description as reads ... This marker commemorates the iron column erected in 1873 at the southernmost tip of the boundary survey line run by Allexey W. Von Schmidt, U.S. astronomer and surveyor. The line dividing Nevada and California was based on preliminary geodetic work by Lieutenant Joseph Christmas Ives. Ives determined the Colorado River end of the proposed oblique California-Nevada boundary. Von Schmidt calculated and ran the first complete survey of the boundary. His solar observations erred slightly--the actual line now being 3/4 mile to the north. Check one more off ... and only eleven hours from home! A view toward the original 1873 Von Schmidt Boundary Marker. Old Schmidt was came close to finding the state line. ... And a view looking back toward [188]. This view is looking north into Nevada. Here is a tribute to Von Schmidt's Boundary Marker ... CALIFORNIA?Survey says: "Boo!" OREGON? Survey says: *Shrugs Shoulders* NEVADA? Survey says: "JACKPOT!"(No pun intended) CA SHL 859 - Von Schmidt Marker, State Boundary Monument As you know, [188] Von Schmidt Boundary shares its space with California's SHL 859, "Von Schmidt Marker". Here is a brief tribute to this one. And yes boys and girls... this is the ONLY California Historical Landmark that you will ever see me conquer. Full Description: Exact description as reads ... This older California landmark sits baked by the desert sun. This boundary monument, a cast iron column erected in 1873, marks the southern terminus of the California-Nevada State Boundary established by A.W. Von Schmidt's 1872-73 survey. Von Schmidt's line, the first officially recognized oblique state line between California and Nevada, erred slightly. The boundary was later corrected to the present line, 3/4 mile to the north. California Registered Historical Landmark No. 859. Dawn falls on this remote California state landmark. Kudos go to the CAHMS for erecting the nice foot paths you see in the b.g. (Photo below) This is as far south as you can get in the Nevada Historical Marker System. [188] looks northward to the state it belongs to, only a mile away in the b.g.
