Its southern terminus is at a T-intersection with SR 136 in Cherry Fork, and its northern terminus is another T-intersection, this time with SR 247 just south of Seaman.

Following 2nd Street to the east-northeast, SR 137 passes a number of homes as it makes its way out of Cherry Fork and into rural Wayne Township.

After following an S-curve to the north and then back to the northeast, SR 137 carries through back-to-back intersections with westbound and eastbound Graces Run Road.

[2] SR 137 is not included as a part of the National Highway System.

The portion of SR 137 from Wrightsville to West Union became SR 247, and the portion from West Union to just south of Seaman would be removed from the state highway system, for the time being.
