1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, upon laying out and designating the county roads as required in NRS 403.170, the board of county highway commissioners shall cause a map of the county to be made, showing the county roads and their designations. The board shall file one copy of the map with the clerk of the board of county highway commissioners, one copy with the Department of Transportation, one copy with the county clerk and one copy with the county recorder.
2. If the map required pursuant to subsection 1 includes a county road located on a right-of-way that the board of county highway commissioners has located, determined the width of and opened for public use pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 405.191:
(a) The filing of copies of the map pursuant to subsection 1 constitutes the establishment of the existence and location of a right-of-way that is open for public use; and
(b) Acceptance of the map by the Department of Transportation constitutes acknowledgment by the Department of the establishment of the existence and location of a right-of-way that is open for public use.
3. When any road has been designated by the board of county highway commissioners as a standard county road, as provided in NRS 403.180, that designation must be made on the copies of the map on file with the clerk of the board of county highway commissioners, the county clerk, the Department of Transportation and the county recorder.
4. The board of county highway commissioners need not include a minor county road upon the map required by subsection 1. Any person who uses a minor county road may file with the county recorder a map showing the location of the road, appropriately emphasized in black ink upon the map by the person filing it. The map must:
(a) Be a topographical map prepared by the United States Geological Survey, unless the board of county highway commissioners determines that other specific maps are acceptable.
(b) Have written on its face, in black ink, the townships, ranges and sections through which the road traverses.
The map so filed is evidence of the existence and location of the road. Each person filing such a map shall pay to the county recorder a fee of $17 for the first sheet of the map plus $10 for each additional sheet.
