Location: SR 75 and SR 301, DeKalb Cty

Reassurance shield as we enter the Heart of Dixie.

Location: SR 75 and CR 169, DeKalb Cty

About a mile later, turn right for CR 169.

Location: SR 75 and CR 810, DeKalb Cty

Location: SR 75 and CR 813, DeKalb Cty

Turn right for CR 813.

Location: SR 75 and CR 167, DeKalb Cty

Turn right for CR 167. Until we get further from the Georgia line, most of these county routes head west.

Location: SR 75 and CR 809, DeKalb Cty

But the occasional one turns left.

Location: SR 75 and CR 830, DeKalb Cty

I possibly have no idea what I am talking about.

Location: SR 75 and CR 9027, DeKalb Cty

Not sure why there are 9xxx county routes interspersed with the 7/800s.

Location: SR 75 and CR 832, DeKalb Cty

Turn right for 846 and left for 832.

Location: SR 75 and CR 971, DeKalb Cty

And another.

Location: SR 75 and CR 155, DeKalb Cty

Turn right for CR 155.

Location: SR 75 and CR 141, DeKalb Cty

Turn left for CR 141. We’re about halfway to 117.

Location: SR 75 and CR 141, Cartersville, DeKalb Cty

In Cartersville, turn left or right for CR 141 – the first instance thus far of a county road fully crossing the state highway.

Location: SR 75 and CR 787, DeKalb Cty

Turn left for CR 787.

Location: SR 75 and CR 788, DeKalb Cty

Turn right for 788.

Location: SR 75 and CR 1914, DeKalb Cty

Or left for 1914.

Location: SR 75 and CR 372, DeKalb Cty

Left for 372, right for 776.

Location: SR 75 and CR 774, DeKalb Cty

For an idea of how dense these are, there are about 11 miles between the Georgia line and SR 117, so there’s really only a couple per mile.

Location: SR 75 and CR 789, DeKalb Cty

Sure is boring to write this page though.

Location: SR 75 and CR 781, DeKalb Cty

I guess I could talk about life.

Location: SR 75 and CR 780, DeKalb Cty

I remember while I was driving this I was thinking “damn, I’m getting a lot of bad pictures of county pentagons that due to longstanding policy I am going to be obligated to upload”

Location: SR 75 and Sulphur Springs Rd, DeKalb Cty

So that’s what I’m doing, and I guarantee this isn’t the biggest waste of space you’ve seen on the internet all day.

Location: SR 75 and Sulphur Springs Rd, DeKalb Cty

Wait…what? A reassurance shield! Hi there!

Location: SR 75 and SR 117, DeKalb Cty

Shortly thereafter, we’ll approach SR 117.

Location: SR 75 and SR 117, DeKalb Cty

Follow 117 north to Stevenson, 117 south to Hammondville, and 75 south to Rainsville.
