Route description

SH-78 starts at the intersection with SH-55 in Marsing and provides access to sites south of the Snake River from there to Bruneau and a few along the north side via SH-167 from Grand View.

History

The basic route of today's SH-78 from Marsing to Bruneau was in place as early as the mid-1930s, mostly as unimproved roads with a few all-weather gravel segments near Bruneau, Grand View and north of Murphy, and some paved segments near Marsing as of the 1937 map.
