Route description
State Road 262
State Road 262 begins at U.S. Route 50 near Dillsboro in
Dearborn County. Going south, it crosses State Road 62
after only a few hundred feet, then runs southeast. After
a few miles, it descends into the Laughery Creek Valley,
crossing the creek into Ohio County. After turning east-
ward and passing through the small town of Milton, it
ascends out of the Valley. Both the approach and depar-
ture of the valley are fairly hazardous, with sharp curves
and steep dropoffs. At about 7 miles, it reaches the top
of the ridge, where the road straightens out for a dis-
tance of a mile. It then descends into the Arnold Creek
Valley, which is also a curvy stretch of road, but less haz-
