History
The southern terminus of Ohio State Route 13 was originally in the village of Chauncey, Ohio, at the intersection with Ohio State Route 682 that is now at mile 3.15. This original terminus was at what was then US-33. Since then, US-33 was rebuilt as a four-lane divided highway, and is across the Hocking River now from Chauncey. The former section of US-33 was divided between Ohio State Route 682, to the west, and Ohio State Route 13, to the east, slightly extending both roadways.
North of Chauncey, the highway now is almost straight as it passes Millfield, Ohio and goes to Redtown, Ohio, and passes through a cut through a ridge. Originally, the highway looped through Millfield and Truetown.
