State Road 71 in west-central Indiana consists of two discontinuous north-south segments of two-lane rural roadway near the Illinois border.
[edit] Northern section
This is a straight 17.5-mile north-south road except for a small jog about halfway along its length. The southern terminus is at State Road 352 near Ambia. It passes through the small towns of Dunnington and Freeland Park, then crosses State Road 18. It passes through the town of Raub where it crosses the Kankakee, Beaverville and Southern Railroad on its way from Earl Park northwest through Sheldon, Illinois. The northern terminus at U.S. Route 24/U.S. Route 52 about two miles directly west of Kentland. The highway is mostly within Benton County, but the northernmost portion, about two miles long, is in Newton County.
