A western extension to MS 5 existed for ten years from 1957 to 1967, and the section east of CO 700 gradually returned to Tippah County for maintenance.

[2] In 2017, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) calculated 570 vehicles traveling on MS 368 near CO 711 on average each day.

The route, known as East Palmer Street inside the town, travels eastward through a residential area.

Past the intersection, the route winds southeastward until it reaches CO 710,[2] and the scenery changes from a forested area to farmland near CO 709.

[11][12] MS 368 west of Blue Mountain was removed from the state highway system around four years later.
