[3] Past Richburg, NY 275 continues on a northeasterly track through the rural town of Wirt, running along the base of a narrow, largely undeveloped valley surrounding Little Genesee Creek as East Notch Road.

The highway slowly increases in elevation for about 2.5 miles (4.0 km), intersecting with the western terminus of CR 8 (Inavale Road) and passing a handful of farms on its way toward East Notch, a gap between two large hills that serves as Little Genesee Creek's source.

The rural surroundings end ahead of the hamlet of Friendship, where NY 275 heads through the residential western portion of the community.
