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.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
