The intersection is near the Fort Hill State Memorial and is located between the unincorporated community of Cynthiana and the village of Sinking Spring.

After passing around the eastern end of Rocky Fork Lake and its eponymous state park, the route comes to an intersection with US 50.

On this segment, the route passes through the community of Good Hope and has an interchange with the US 35 bypass of Washington Court House.

[4][5] The route ran from what is now the northernmost intersection with SR 41 in Perry Township to US 35 southeast of Washington Court House.

[6] The route would not experience any major changes until 1962 when many highways statewide were renumbered due to their numbers being identical with Interstate highways; in that year, SR 753 was extended south of Greenfield taking over the southern portion of SR 70 which was being deleted due to the presence of Interstate 70 in Ohio.
