Route description

SR 894 beings at the northern end of Indian Springs Fence Line Road in Shoshone, in an area of the unincorporated community that was formerly the separate unincorporated community of Minerva. (Indian Indian Springs Fence Line Road heads south–southeasterly as a dirt road for about 16 miles [26 km] to end at a junction with several other roads at The Troughs.)[2]
From its southern terminus, SR 894 heads nearly due north on Shoshone Road (a two-lane asphalt paved road) for about 5 miles (8.0 km) before assuming a north-northwesterly course. About 6 miles (9.7 km) later, after crossing the Spring and Ridge creeks, SR 894 turns to head due west. After about 5.4 more miles (8.7 km), it reaches its northern terminus at a T intersection with U.S. Route 93 (US 93) about 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of the unincorporated community of Majors Place. (US 93 heads south to Pioche, Caliente, and Las Vegas; and heads north to a junction with US 6/US 50 at Majors Place en route to Ely.)[2]
The entire highway is located on Baking Powder Flat, a flat in the southern part of the Spring Valley. It has multiple named and unnamed minor side and cross roads, but no major intersections.[2]
