After several erratic turns and intersections with numerous local streets, Route 274 executes a sharp turn to the west into Steuben.

[edit] History
The entirety of NY 274 was originally designated as part of New York State Route 46A, an alternate route of NY 46 between Rome and the Western hamlet of Frenchville, in the early-to-mid 1930s. Between Rome and Holland Patent, NY 46A overlapped NY 365.[4][5] The route remained unchanged until the 1950s when it was truncated to Holland Patent on its southern end and renumbered to NY 274.[2][3]
