The highway used to travel through Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Marion counties, but was truncated through Fort Moore.

Just before an intersection with the southern terminus of Pine Lake Road, it begins to curve to the northwest.

The highway continues to the north-northwest and enters Troup County and the city limits of West Point, where it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 18.

[10][11] The next year, the portion from the southern terminus to the Chattahoochee–Muscogee county line had a completed hard surface.

[14][15] By the middle of 1939, the southern part of the Harris County portion had completed grading, but was not surfaced.

[16][17] Between November 1946 and February 1948, the portion from Mountain Hill to West Point had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface.

[22][23] Between June 1955 and July 1957, the northern half of the Harris County segment had a "topsoil or gravel, unpaved" surface.
