[edit] History notes

• Batavia Turnpike and Miami Bridge Company: Beechmont and Eastern (?) to Batavia
• plank road, Williamsburg to Mount Orab
• Waverly and Beaver Free Turnpike?
• free turnpike, Beaver to Jackson?

Inter-county highways

• 41 Cincinnati-Batavia Road
• 125 Batavia-Winchester Road (extended beyond Winchester to south of Seaman)
• Part of 261 Hillsboro-Piketon Road
• 366 Jackson-Piketon Road
• Part of 395 Pomeroy-Jackson Road
• Part of 160 Athens-McArthur Road
• Most of 156 Athens-Hockingport Road

All of these were part of the original 1912 network.

In 1923 it became:

An extension of SR 74 to east of Peebles first appears on the 1925 map. In 1927, SR 24 became SR 124, and the parts of SR 26, SR 144, and SR 7 now used by SR 32 became US 50.
