Roach is a ghost town and railroad siding in Clark County, Nevada, United States.

[1] In 1904, a tractor road from the Mesquite Valley through State Line Pass to Roach was built, "largely to haul borax from the Death Valley region; but it also served to permit easy shipment of the ores from mines in the southwestern part" of the Goodsprings Mining District.

[2] Roach became a major shipping point on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake (SPLA & SL) Railroad, with "considerable tonnage" being shipped through Roach around 1913, along with nearby Jean and Arden.

[5] In 1915, about 500 tons of zinc carbonite ore were being transported each month via trucks from the Green Monster Mine to Roach.

The team worked continuously for almost 42 hours to deposit the ore before Sorenson and Piehl's lease on the mine expired.
