SR 165 begins at a junction with US 95 approximately Script error: No such module "convert". south of Boulder City. From there, the state highway follows Nelson Road in a southeasterly direction through Eldorado Valley Script error: No such module "convert". to its end just outside the town of Nelson.[1][2] The town of Nelson was established in 1905 following several mining claims being discovered in the valley. Although the small community is still inhabited, the remains of many mining operations and abandoned structures can still be seen in the vicinity.[3]

History

SR 165 was the northwest leg of State Route 60 prior to 1976

The route first appears on state highway maps in 1941 as part of State Route 60, a three-pronged route with each spoke connecting to the town of Nelson. The Script error: No such module "convert". northwest leg connected to US 95 about Script error: No such module "convert". south of Boulder City while the Script error: No such module "convert". southwest leg reached US 95 further south via the Nelson Cutoff Road. The third leg of SR 60 ran east from Nelson Script error: No such module "convert". to the Colorado River.[4] Both the northwest and eastern legs of the route were completely paved by 1951.[5]

State Route 60 remained largely unchanged until the Nevada began renumbering of its state highway system on July 1, 1976.[6] The northwest leg of old SR 60 was renumbered to State Route 165 in this process, and by this time was realigned to be only Script error: No such module "convert". long.[7] The remaining legs of SR 60 have since gone unnumbered.
