State Route 773
Nevada State Route 773 circumvents the Volcanic Hills between SR 264 (Dicalite Cutoff) to U.S. 6 in northwest Esmeralda County. The 10.49 mile long highway provides a cutoff between U.S. 6 and U.S. 95 from Coaldale to SR 264 leading south across Fish Lake Valley to Dyer and Oasis, California.
SR 773 was originally numbered as Nevada State Route 3A. SR 3A extended south along what is now SR 264 to the California state line.
