Route Description
The highway begins where State Highway 74 crosses the McClain–Garvin County line, about three miles (5 km) north of Maysville. From here, SH-24 runs west along the county line for three miles (5 km), where it turns due north in the unincorporated community of Storey. It has a brief, one-mile (1.6 km) concurrency with SH-59 east of Payne. After this, the road turns west again and returns to a due north course before intersecting SH-39 in the unincorporated town of Woody Chapel.
From Woody Chapel, Highway 24 continues northward (encountering a few curves to avoid a small pond) to the town of Washington. Through Washington, the road runs east–west and is named Morehead Street. After passing through Washington, SH-24 turns back northward, crossing Walnut Creek just after the turn. At the southern limit of the town of Goldsby, the road meets SH-74 again. At this intersection, the mainline road becomes SH-74 northbound, turning right is SH-74 southbound, and turning left puts you on the old SH-24 alignment through Washington.

“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
