Missouri Route 49
Route 49 is a highway in eastern Missouri. Its northern terminus is at Route [19 (Missouri)|Route 19] in Cherryville, and its southern terminus is at U.S. [Route 67 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 67] five miles east of Williamsville.
The highway runs through the eastern part of the Ozarks and passes through two sections of the Mark Twain National Forest and near Johnson Shut-ins State Park and Taum Sauk Mountain. Lesterville and Annapolis, as well as Johnson Shut-ins State Park, were evacuated in 2005 following a reservoir failure at the Taum Sauk [pumped storage plant].
Route 49 is one of the original 1922 state highways. It only ran between Glover and Piedmont and was later extended.
