Ohio State Route 716 is a short route running due north-south through the farm fields between Chickasaw and Osgood. Most of Ohio Route 716 is in Mercer County, but the southern end pokes into northeastern Darke County. The northern end in Chickasaw is at Ohio Route 274. From there, Ohio Route 716 runs southerly to cross Ohio Route 119 at the tiny town of Maria Stein. Next, Ohio Route 716 continues due south to end at Ohio Route 705 in Osgood, Ohio.
My photo for Ohio Route 716 comes from the only intermediate intersection with another number route, at Ohio Route 119. Standing in Maria Stein, I was looking west along Ohio Route 119 when I took a picture of this guide marker, serving the westbound travelers on Ohio Route 119. This photo was taken in June, 2016, taking a twisty, backwards way home from Columbus.
