Scenery
The route goes through typical mid-Missouri countryside, past mostly farmland and the occasional grove of trees. The route is mostly tree lined, giving flowering trees in the spring, shade in the summer, and good fall color.
Drive Enjoyment
The route is a county maintained road, primarily comprised of "chip and seal" macadam pavement. The route goes through mid-Missouri's rolling hills, with lots of modest elevation changes, and follows the various property lines, making for a combination of gradual curves and a handful of more tight and technical corners.
Tourism Opportunities
There is nothing of note along the route. Both Union and Beaufort have some stores and restaurants (mostly in Union).
Motorcycle Road Additional info
This road makes a nice short cut connector between US 50 and MO-185, if you're continuing on to the north of US 50, either on MO-185 or one of the many lettered and county roads heading west.
