Route description
editThe state highway begins at an unsignalized intersection with the divided US 23 in Pickaway Township. The two-lane road travels east through farmland though there are two S-curves that bring the route further south. In the unincorporated community of Elmwood, the road passes over a railroad via a bridge. After the railroad bridge, SR 361 curves to the southeast and passes through more farmland before ending at a skewed T-intersection with SR 159 about 0.2 miles (0.32 km) north of the Pickaway-Ross County line and the village of Kingston.[2]
History
editA segment of modern-day SR 361 running about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from US 23 to the Logan Elm State Memorial was first designated in 1932 as an unnumbered gravel road.[3][4][2] By 1934, the route received its number of SR 361.[5] The route was extended to its current length between US 23 and SR 159 circa 1937.[6] By 1948, the route was fully paved and has not changed since its first designation.[7]
Major intersections
editThe entire route is in Pickaway Township, Pickaway County.
