Route description
SR 289 is a {{convert|10.52|mi|km|2|adj=on}} highway that serves Peña Blanca Lake, passing through sparsely inhabited territory. It does not pass through any cities or towns.{{cite web|url=http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/waters_pena_blanca_lake.shtml|title=Pena Blanca Lake|author=Arizona Game and Fish Department|author-link=Arizona Game and Fish Department|accessdate=2008-04-15|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412075231/http://www.azgfd.gov//h_f/waters_pena_blanca_lake.shtml|archivedate=12 April 2008|url-status=dead}} From its eastern terminus at the frontage road nearly {{convert|400|ft|m}} east of the I-19 interchange, the highway heads in a western direction before curving towards the southwest. The highway eventually curves back towards the west until it turns north towards the lake. There is a Y junction where the road branches off to the lake to the north and a forest road that continues west that connects to a very scenic drive through the Coronado National Forest. This road passes Arivaca Peak, Sycamore Canyon, the ghost town of Ruby and continues west to the town of Arivaca and SR 286. This stretch requires four-wheel drive and there are no services along the entire stretch.{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=10335143866703101933,31.430140,-110.962490%3B15034016154052340524,31.400150,-111.087710&saddr=E+Ruby+Rd+%4031.430140,+-110.962490&daddr=Unknown+road+%4031.400150,+-111.087710&doflg=ptm&jsv=107&sll=31.40784,-111.026245&sspn=0.186653,0.188828&ie=UTF8&z=12 |title=overview map of SR 289 |accessdate=2008-04-15}}
History
An unpaved road existed along the current route since 1935.{{cite map|url=http://www.aaroads.com/west/maps/1935-az.php|title=Road Map of Arizona|publisher=Arizona State Highway Department|date=1935|accessdate=April 9, 2012}} The route was established as SR 289 in 1959, when it only ran west from US 89 to the Coronado National Forest boundary.{{cite web|url=http://www.azhighwaydata.com/resolutions/?syear=1960&eyear=1960&crc=3&rtnum=289&submit1=Submit|title=Right-of-Way Resolution 1960-005|publisher=Arizona Department of Transportation|date=1960|accessdate=April 9, 2012}} The next year, the route was extended westward to Peña Blanca Dam.{{cite web|url=http://www.azhighwaydata.com/resolutions/?syear=1961&eyear=1961&crc=3&rtnum=289&submit1=Submit|title=Right-of-Way Resolution 1961-013|publisher=Arizona Department of Transportation|date=1961|accessdate=April 9, 2012}} By 1971, US 89 at SR 289's eastern terminus was replaced by I-19.{{cite map|url=http://www.aaroads.com/west/maps/1971-az.php|title=Arizona|publisher=Arizona State Highway Department|cartography=Photogrammetry and Mapping Division|date=1971|accessdate=April 9, 2012}}
