Uninhabited and starkly scenic, the 90-mile stretch of SR 305 cuts through the vast flatlands of Nevada's Reese River Valley, with low mountains providing a bit of vertical contrast. No towns and only a handful of isolated ranches underscore the loneliness and austere beauty of the Great Basin Desert. A rest area marks the halfway point between Austin and Battle Mountain.
