Route description

Existing entirely within Butler County, State Route 748 is not included within the National Highway System.[2]

State Route 748 commences at its junction with State Route 126 in the hamlet of Shandon. Starting out in a northwesterly direction, the highway passes through a residential neighborhood. Bending to the north, the highway enters into rural Morgan Township. The majority of State Route 748 passes amidst farmland, with the occasional patch of trees and numerous houses lining the roadway. After traveling due north, the highway bends to the northwest, meets Bell Road, then bends back to the north. State Route 748 next bends to the northeast and then east-northeast, as it crosses Morgan-Ross Road, and into Ross Township. Following intersections with Kirchling Road and Layhigh Road, the state route bends back to the northeast, and crosses Fenton Road. The highway passes a number of houses prior to arriving at its endpoint at a T-intersection with State Route 129 approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) of U.S. Route 27 and the village of Millville.[3]
