Much of the atmosphere is rural and agricultural with both active and abandoned farmland, occasionally obstructed or interrupted by small forests.

Besides sparse residences interrupted by occasional farmland, one notable site within the town is a local Bed & Breakfast that looks like a former school building.

After curving away from the tracks across from Rowell Road, US 231 enters the community of Steele City, and CR 276 turns east onto Kynesville Road between a gas station and a local Baptist Church and accompanying cemetery, while US 231 heads north towards Cottondale, Campbellton, and through Alabama far north into northwestern Indiana.

The segment along Kynesville Road remains rural, although forest land prevails more than farmland compared to Washington County.

The road then takes a northeast curve and two more intersections exist before SR 276/CR 167 becomes a divided highway and runs under a diamond interchange with Interstate 10 at Exit 136.

Right after this the road officially enters the City of Marianna where the divided segment ends and it passes by a Florida Division of Forestry garage, and a fire station.

CR 167 moves east onto South Street, which is across the street from the recently infamous Dozier School for Boys, while SR 273 becomes Pennsylvania Avenue as it briefly turns straight north until it passes by a local public utilities office and turns back to the northeast.

CR 276A begins at SR 277 in Brock Crossroads briefly running southeast, then curves to the northeast for most of its length.

The route began in Alford three blocks south of the southwestern terminus of the US 231/CR 276 concurrency as Third Avenue and ran east.
