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 -- Historically, this marker was never 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 ridiculously 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 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 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, #188 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 because of a combination from its lack of signage and its placement in a very inconspicuous locality. Unfortunately, any signage from this marker would have to be a collaborative effort between NDOT and CalTrans. In terms of bagging #188, here's what you need to do. First, note that Needles Highway is a neither a backroad nor state highway of California or Nevada. However, the highway is well-marked from SR 163. Once you cross over into California, that nice and wide Needles Highway you turned onto will suddenly turn 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 when the typical California throwback tailgating you.) Here is the sign that will greet you 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 #188 so far back from the pavement that even catching view of it in the corner of your eye is a stroke of luck. 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 Pkwy about 1 mile south of the state line. The turnout for Von Schmidt is literally five seconds south from this junction on the left. If you see the photo below, turn around and head back. Good luck! If you're seeing this, you've passed the marker! (View looking NB 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 another marker off, 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 back toward #188. Speaking of which, 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, HM 188 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. 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. Full Description: Exact description as reads ... Maybe I am just being biased, but our historic markers look better. 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. This is as far south as you can get in the Nevada Historical Marker System. #188 looks northward to the state it should be in, only a mile away in the b.g.
