N 36° 48.248 W 114° 04.110
Date Conquered: 3/16/09 Nearest Intersection: Yucca St. Quick Description: A marker commemorating a valley strongly influenced by Mormon culture Signed: No -- Historically, this marker was never signed, although #31 was signed historically. Unfortunately, due to Mesquite's fast growth, the sign for #31 was lost and never recovered. (No signs exist today for either marker.) Arizona, The Grand Canyon State, lies only one mile to the east. Superlative! #56 is geographically Nevada's easternmost historical marker Full Description: Exact description as reads ... Virgin Valley was traveled by Jedediah Smith in 1826 and by Frémont in 1844. The valley served as the right-of-way for the Old Spanish Trail (1829-1848) and for the Morman road or southern route of travel to southern California. The areas was settled by pioneers of the Latter-Day Saints Church, who colonized Bunderville in 1877 and Mesquite in 1880. The Virgin River provided water for the development of the valley's agricultural resources. A true oddball! Not only does this one hang, but it decided to change color! #31 is also in this photo. Can you spot it? #31 OST relies solely on #56 for viewing. The only way you'll ever know it's there is by actually catching glimpse of #56 from the street (as shown). #31 is out of view of the photo's left edge.
