County Road 44A then not only crosses US 301 to enter Huey Street, but the wye for the former Leesburg and Tavares railroad line.
One block away, CR 44A breaks away from Huey Street and curves south before running along the north side of the right-of-way of the previously mentioned abandoned railroad line.
From there it winds through the swampland and farmland of southwestern Sumter County, through Wahoo, briefly becoming a state road at Interstate 75's Exit 314 in Bushnell.
The route runs from SR 44 in Rutland into the Sumter–Lake County Line west of Okahumpka at the north end of the multiplex with Lake CRs 33 and 48.
The road briefly runs straight east until it curves southeast again closer to the southwest side of the lake.
The northbound off-ramp from that interstate is included in the nearby intersection with CR 475, and immediately encounters a grade crossing with the CSX-S Line.
Approaching "downtown" Sumterville, the route turns north and overlaps US 301, where it also passes the post office, runs between the territory of the Sumter Electric Cooperative (SECO) buildings, serves as the terminus of SR 471, and then turns east across from the Shady Brook Golf & RV Resort, while US 301 heads north towards Coleman, Wildwood, Ocala, and across the Georgia state line towards northern Delaware.
CR 470 continues to run through the rural farmlands of Central Sumter County, but suddenly encounters a right of way for a series of power lines that turns along the north side of the road.
Sumter County Road 472 runs west to east from US 301 south of Oxford to a local street named Rainey Trail on the edge of The Villages.
CR 475 remains a four-lane undivided highway, and moves slightly away from the CSX S-Line, but still stays close to it, mostly hidden by a line of trees.
Just as some farm fields on the west side of the road become more open, County Road 475 curves to the northeast and becomes a two-lane divided highway as it receives a bi-directional connection from the northbound off-ramps from I-75 just south of the terminus at CR 470, which itself contains a group of connecting ramps not only to and from CR 470, but also to northbound I-75.
Far north from the wetlands of the lake, the route begins again at SR 44 west of the travel plazas of Wildwood, and is entirely a two-lane undivided rural highway.
The road turns straight north once again at its former alignment, and finally crosses the Sumter-Marion County Line, south of Pedro.
The road enters the county at a southeastern trajectory before encountering CR 635, which serves as the entrance to the Hog Island Recreational Area for the Withlacoochee State Forest.
Right after curving to the northeast, the intersection with Sumter County Road 476B (Veterans Memorial Highway) runs just south towards an interchange with I-75.
It has one diagonal intersection with CR 619, before encountering the northern terminus of that rural county road while it turns straight east again as it heads towards Bushnell.
North of here, US 301/SR 48/CR 476 is Main Street, a four-lane undivided boulevard towards the heart of Bushnell along the west side of the CSX S-Line.
Across from West Noble Avenue, US 301/CR 476 makes a sharp right turn across the aforementioned railroad line, while Main Street continues north as SR 48/CR 475.
From there, the road resumes its previous surroundings of farm and ranch land dotted with occasional small wooded areas.
Like its parent route, it was formerly designated as SR 476A,[1] and has a partial overlap with Sumter County Road 48 along East Seminole Avenue.
It begins at the intersection of SR 471 at the eastern terminus of CR 476 north of Beville's Corner and runs west to east for the first segment of its existence until making a sharp curve to the south between a farmer's windmill and a private house.
