SR 197 starts at US 45 (SR 5) in Pinson in Madison County. It crosses the South Fork of the Forked Deer River[2] and is called locally Ozier Road and after approximately 2.5 miles passes Pinson Mounds.[3] At 4.0 miles along its length it passes through Five Points[4] and becomes Diamond Grove Road. Diamond Grove Road continues for 3.9 miles and then makes a right turn onto Mifflin Road and in 0.4 of a mile passes the southern terminus of SR 198 before passing into Chester County at the 10.3 mile mark or 2 miles from SR 198. It then terminates in Mifflin[5] at SR 200.
