Route description[]

All of the route is in Tippah County, and is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).[1] MS 773 starts at MS 2 at a T-intersection and travels northwestward. The route soon enters a forest, with small patches of grass. East of CR 567, MS 773 begins curving west. The road soon travels north again and intersects CR 500, MS 773's northern terminus. The road continues as CR 549.[2][3] MS 773 is not included as a part of the National Highway System.[4] The route is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3, and is also designated as "Joe Mitch McElwain Memorial Highway".[5]
