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.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
