Ohio State Route 705 is a state highway in Western Ohio. It connects the northern half of Darke County to the city of Sidney. Route 705's western terminus is in rural Northwestern Darke County at State Route 49, around 1 mile south of the Mercer County Line. The highway goes through rural areas in Darke County, only through the villages of New Weston and Osgood heading east. The road follows very close to the Mercer County Line throughout Darke County. In Shelby County, Fort Loramie is the only village along the road. 9 miles to the east of Fort Loramie, State Route 705 meets State Route 29 at it's eastern terminus, 3 miles northwest of Sidney.

[edit] Odds and Ends
County roads continue on at both the eastern and western termini of State Route 705.
In Darke County at the western terminus, the road continues west as New Weston-Fort Loramie Road. This road ends at Ohio-Indiana State Line Road, but if you take a short jog to the north, the road continues on as Jay County road 700 South. This road is mostly gravel, but ends at Boundary Pike. If you turn right at the end, Boundary Pike heads northwest into the city of Portland, Indiana.
Heading past the eastern terminus in Shelby County, the road continues east as Fort Loramie-Port Jefferson Road. This road ends at Pasco-Montra Road, about 4 miles east of State Route 705's eastern terminus. If you head south on Pasco-Montra Road, you will enter the village of Port Jefferson after about 1½ miles.
