State Route 361 (SR 361, OH 361) is a 4.67-mile-long (7.52 km) long state highway entirely located within Pickaway Township, Pickaway County, Ohio. The route connects US 23 with SR 159 just north of Kingston.

Route description[]

The 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[]

A 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[]

The entire route is in Pickaway Township, Pickaway County.
