About Roach
Roach is a ghost town and railroad siding situated in Clark County, Nevada, along the Union Pacific Railroad corridor between Jean, Nevada and Nipton, California. The location today reflects its former role as a rail waypoint rather than a thriving settlement, and visitors will find little in the way of standing structures or developed amenities.
For those drawn to the quiet atmosphere of forgotten desert stops, Roach offers a sparse but evocative landscape. Access follows the highway corridor through this stretch of southern Nevada, making it a brief and easy detour for road travelers passing through the region.
