S.R. 64 west ends at U.S. 129/ S.R. 37 in Ray City. Photo taken December 23, 2006. |

S.R. 64 eastbound in Lanier County approaching S.R. 135. The dirt road ahead, Deerwood Road, is Old S.R. 64. The former route goes to S.R. 168 in southeastern Berrien County. Photo taken December 20, 2006.

Close-up shot of the same intersection. The highway used to go straight ahead until 1980. Photo taken December 20, 2006.
|
|
This guide sign is also found approaching the same intersection. Photo taken December 20, 2006.
|
|
This is the Junction S.R. 64 assembly for the same intersection from above from the angle of S.R. 135 northbound. Photo taken October 2006.
|
|
The directional assembly followed by the duplex assembly is now visible. Note Deerwood Road, Old S.R. 64, on the right. Photo taken October 2006. |
|
On the S.R. 64/135 overlap northbound, S.R. 64 turns right to follow S.R. 168 in northern Berrien County. This route replaced the Deerwood Road alignment. Photo taken October 2006. |
|
Direction assembly where S.R. 64 leaves S.R. 135 to follow S.R. 168 past the last photo. Photo taken October 2006. |
|
Looking from S.R. 168 westbound, S.R. 64 turns left onto S.R. 135. Note one of the few remaining old-style S.R. 135 markers. It definitely looks more attractive and official. Photo taken December 2006. |
|
Along Old S.R. 64 westbound is this county line sign, which although county-installed, is DOT standard and likely replaced an old DOT sign. Old S.R. 64 turns right on Deerwood Rd just past that sign. Photo taken December 20, 2006. |
|
This speed limit sign on Deerwood Road, while itself newer, appears to be on an old DOT-spec wooden post. This route saved a mile or two in distance, but not in time since it was never paved. Photo taken December 20, 2006. |
|
S.R. 64 leaves S.R. 168 eastbound back in northeastern Lanier County to Pearson in lieu of following S.R. 168 to U.S. 221 northbound. This little cut-off saves a whopping mile. What is the point? Photo taken March 1, 2007. |
|
Along the cut-off part of S.R. 64 eastbound just north of the Lanier County line in Atkinson County. Middle Road, the old alignment of S.R. 64, is near here. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
The S.R. 64 cut-off ends here at U.S. 221. From here, it overlaps U.S. 221/441 north 8 miles into Pearson before splitting off again. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
Looking north on U.S. 221 at the same intersection. Much like everywhere else on the route, absolutely nothing is here. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
This guide sign at the same intersection as above attempts to provide legitimacy to the route. Even if you were going to Ray City, you would not come at from this angle. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
Not too far north is this quadruplex with U.S. 221, 441 and S.R. 31. The last is only a state overlap of U.S. 221 and does not need to be signed. Nearly a third of S.R. 64 is overlapped with other routes. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
In Pearson, S.R. 64 turns east on U.S. 82/ S.R. 520, then turns back north independent again headed to nowhere. It once was planned to go to Alma, but the highway to there was never completed. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
Northeast of Pearson, S.R. 64 crosses the Satilla River. A few miles ahead, S.R. 64 turns east along a different road. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
At the Coffee County line, S.R. 64 turns east on a different road after this bullet-ridden turn sign. The roadway ahead continuing as Old Axson Road. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
Here is another view of the same turn at Old Axson Road. S.R. 64 to the east continues to Minchew Road before turning northeast again. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
|
The county road ahead continues to Nicholls. S.R. 64 used to continue ahead, then turn immediately right onto unpaved present-day C.R. 596. The road ends into a paved road north of Bickley not connecting to Alma. Photo taken January 17, 2007. |
