Route description

The route begins at an unsignalized T-intersection with SR 138 in northern Paint Township. SR 771 heads north-northwest through first lightly wooded areas transitioning to farmland as it enters Fairfield Township. The elevation of the route remains relatively flat except when it dips slightly to cross the Hardin Creek in Fairfield Township. North of the creek, SR 771 enters the village limits of Leesburg and passes the Fairfield High School. While in Leesburg, the road name is South Fairfield Street. As the route enters downtown Leesburg, it passes through residential neighborhoods and light industrial facilities. After crossing the Indiana and Ohio railroad at-grade, SR 771 enters the central business district of the town and ends at a signalized intersection with SR 28.[2]

History

SR 771 was designated on a SR 138–Leesburg route around 1937 on a gravel road.[3][4] However, it did not end in downtown Leesburg as it does today; US 62 was routed through the town therefore SR 771 ended at US 62 where County Route 60 intersects the route today. By 1941, the entire route was paved.[5] Between 1969 and 1971, US 62 was rerouted on a bypass around the village which lead to the extension of SR 771 into downtown Leesburg.[6][7] Since then, no major changes have affected the highway.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Highland County.

gollark: Well, because I dislike being creepily surveiled. Though I mostly don't go to much effort.
gollark: As far as I know ISPs can't see that you connect to your own LAN.
gollark: You may only ask dishonest questions.
gollark: VPNs prevent ISPs from seeing all this except possibly to some extent #3, but the VPN provider can still see it, and obviously whatever service you connect to has any information sent to it.
gollark: Anyway, with HTTPS being a thing basically everywhere and DNS over HTTPS existing, ISPs can only see:- unencrypted traffic from programs/services which don't use HTTPS or TLS- the *domains* you visit (*not* pages, and definitely not their contents, just domains) - DNS over HTTPS doesn't prevent this because as far as I know it's still in plaintext in HTTPS requestts- metadata about your connection/packets/whatever- also the IPs you visit, but the domains are arguably more useful anyway
