At Aldrich, the road crosses Stockton Lake, then forms a concurrency with Route 215 to Eudora.

Originally, the highway continued all the way to Springfield, passing through town on various streets (one of which was West Bypass) and leaving town on Campbell Avenue.

The path south of Springfield is modern US 160 and headed through Nixa, Highlandville, and Spokane.

From Willard, the highway continued on through Springfield, Nixa, Highlandville, and to Walnut Shade.

The southern end of the highway was truncated when U.S. Route 160 was extended from its former terminus in Springfield, and the road's terminus was moved back to Springfield (at US 160), and later still (in the 1980s) back to Willard when US 160 was rerouted.
