Historic southern end of S.R. 115 in Murrayville from 1957-2000. GDOT left the junction assembly and destination sign for S.R. 60, but Hall County replaced the post for the former. This was once the southern end of S.R. 249. Photo taken March 2003. |

Looking back north on Old S.R. 115, the road today is known as Old Dahlonega Highway, but clearly from this distance sign reading "Cleveland 21" it was not viewed as a route to Dahlonega at all. Photo taken March 2003. |
