The highway curves north as the main road through the town.

Outside of Silver Peak, the route heads north and slightly westward through the desert.

SR 265 ends at Blair Junction on US 6–95, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Coaldale.

Silver Peak Road first appears on the 1935 edition of the official state highway map.

This version shows it as State Route 47, an unimproved highway.
