State Route 839 (SR 839), also known as Nevada Scheelite Mine Road, is an state highway in Mineral and Churchill counties in Nevada, United States, that runs from the Nevada Scheelite Mine to U.S. Route 50 (US 50).
Route description
SR 839 begins at the south end of the pavement, just north of the Nevada Scheelite Mine on the eastern edge of the Sand Springs Range, roughly northwest of Gabbs. From its southern terminus SR 839 heads northerly along the eastern edge of the Sandy Springs Range for its length. Roughly north, SR 839 enters the Fairview Valley and continues along the western edge of the valley for the remainder of its course.
Approximately father north, SR 839 begins running along the western edge of a United States Navy reservation at Labou Flat. About later SR 839 reaches it northern terminus at a T intersection with US 50, roughly west of the former community of Frenchman, west of Middlegate, and southeast of Fallon.
SR 839 runs roughly parallel with, but approximately west of the northernmost part of Nevada State Route 361.
History Prior to the 1976 mass renumbering of Nevada State Routes this road was a disconnected segment of State Route 31.
