Byway Spine
Enter Mills County on County Road L35, also called 221st Street. When the Byway enters the county, you leave the valley of the Missouri River and travel through the range's western front to Glenwood, where the Byway becomes Locust Street.
Continue south through Glenwood until you reach U.S. 34.
Head east on U.S. 34 for a bit more than 4 miles.
Upon meeting U.S. 275, turn right (south) and follow the highway to the county's southern border, about 9 miles away.
