Route Description

[edit]

Commencing in Oregon in Holt County, the highway travels west, from its southern terminus, out of town 2.5 miles to Forest City, Missouri. Afterward, Route 111 follows the western edge of the Loess Bluffs northwest for 5 miles where it junctions with US 159 and enters the Missouri River Valley. It runs concurrently with US 159 west for around 5 miles passing Fortescue to the south, then turns north just southeast of Big Lake. The highway continues along the east side of Big Lake and through the town of Big Lake for 4 miles where it meets Missouri Route 118. The highway travels west for 1 mile then north 5 to the town of Craig, where Route 111 Spur begins.

Route 111 travels 3.5 miles west from Craig before continuing northwesterly towards Corning. Around here is where Route 111 is closest to the Missouri River, being only 7/8ths of a mile east at a point. The highway passes by the national historic place, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Corning Missouri. Leaving Corning, the highway travels northwest, exiting Holt County, Missouri after 1.5 miles.

Entering Atchison County, Missouri, Route 111 travels northwest 4 miles before curving right and travels northerly another 4 miles. The highway crosses Interstate 29 at Exit 107 and continues north-northeast 3 miles up the Loess Bluffs towards Rock Port. The highway travels through Rock Port as Main Street and meets its northern terminus with US 136.
