History
Gold Point Road first shows up on state highway maps in 1942 as State Route 71, an unimproved highway. The alignment followed that of the present-day SR 774 and extended further southwest of Gold Point to the California state line.[1] With no major road or town connection beyond Gold Point into California, the southern end of SR 71 was truncated to Gold Point by 1968.[2]
SR 71 was renumbered to State Route 774 on July 1, 1976,[3] a change which first appeared on the state highway map in 1978.[4]
SR 774 regularly appears on state highway maps beginning with the 1991–92 edition. By that time, it was the only state-maintained highway in Nevada that had not been constructed into a paved highway.[5] Paving had taken place by 2002.[6]
