Route description

M-201 starts on the south side of the Northport at M-22 and runs north on Shabwasung Street. The highway turns east onto Nagonaba Street for one block, then north onto Mill Street, passing near the marina. Heading out of the village, the highway passes some small farms, and the designation ends at the three-way intersection of Mill Street, North Mill Street (County Road 640), and East Peterson Park Road.[1][3]
