Route description

Just after its western terminus, the route runs along the west side of the Mountain View Village Shopping Center. South of the shopping center is Shiloh Road, which leads to Shiloh Elementary School, Shiloh Middle School, and Shiloh High School. The road curves to the southeast and crosses Jacks Creek. Southeast of that crossing is Centerville Public Library.
