It headed east from there, into the foothills of the southern Oregon Cascades, along the South Fork of the Umpqua River. East of the town of Tiller, it diverges from the river, and heads south. The final form of the highway began at the county line and continued southward and ended at an intersection with Oregon Route 62 in Trail.
