The highway's western beginning is at I-35 (milemarker 31) in Ardmore. From here, it goes eastward out of town. At Dickson it becomes concurrent with US-177. They stay joined until Madill.

At Madill, the highway splits off US-177 and heads east on its own. It crosses over Lake Texoma and passes Fort Washita before ending near Brown, Oklahoma at SH-78.

SH-199's route from Interstate 35 on the west side of Ardmore to Madill was the former route of US-70 until 1984, when US-70 was relocated between the two cities over its present route.
