The western terminus of the highway is at an intersection with SR 10 near Lavaca, an unincorporated community approximately 11 miles (18 km) east of Butler.

SR 114 travels northeast through rural parts of Choctaw and Marengo counties.

The highway travels through sections of Alabama’s Black Belt, one of the poorest regions of the state.

It serves as a leg of the route between Butler and Linden and travels primarily through rural areas and unincorporated communities.
