Well if you walk the whole road you'll end up in Skidoo 
The poles / wire were for the Rhyolite / Skidoo phone line. More of it can be found in traces on the north side of the Mesquite Dunes, and on the south side of 190 north of Mosaic Canyon. And then I'm pretty sure it went up Telephone Canyon though I don't recall seeing any remnants of it in there.
Thanks for posting the pic of the rusted out old car. Somehow I liked that one.
My very first time out there I headed toward what I thought were the Buttes but in fact it was a lower third butte a bit NW of the main ones. There is an old mine on the NE side. On some nice desert pavement there I found my first sleeping circles but I have not been able to relocate them on a later return.
