At the headquarters for the Elbert County Fire Department and Coroner near the intersection with Mahoney Drive, the road curves from the northeast to the northwest. Between the Oglesby Boulevard Extension and just past Willie Black Road, the road curves more towards the west, where it finally ends at SR 77.
