The highway is signed north-south though the overall direction runs from west to east from Lena to Sebastopol, Scott County; its purported northern terminus is lower in latitude than its southern terminus.Table of ContentsRoute description[edit]History[edit]Major intersections[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Route description[edit]Within the town limits of Lena, MS\u00a0487 branches off of MS\u00a013 northeast along Grand Avenue. It heads through a mix of woods, fields, houses, and poultry farms. As it approaches the community of Tuscola, it passes an abandoned dragstrip raceway. In Tuscola, MS\u00a0487 reaches a T-intersection with MS\u00a0500 at its eastern terminus and turns to the north. The highway passes through a densely wooded area between the man-made canals of the Tuscolameta Creek. It emerges from the woods in favor of winding curves and surroundings of more open fields. MS\u00a0487 reaches MS\u00a035 at a skewed intersection about four miles (6.4\u00a0km) southeast of Carthage. After this intersection, MS\u00a0487’s heading changes to the east as it enters the census designated place of Standing Pine, part of the Choctaw reservation. Turning more towards the southeast, the highway passes through the community of Rosebud where fields mainly line the road. It curves to the south, passing through the community of Salem. Before reaching the county line, MS\u00a0487 passes a funeral home and medical clinic. At the Scott County line, state maintenance ends and the remaining 0.221 miles (0.356\u00a0km) of the highway is maintained by the town of Sebastopol, whose town limit is also at the county line.[2] Continuing south, the road passes some houses and a small restaurant. MS\u00a0487 ends at an intersection in the town center with MS\u00a021 and MS\u00a0492, the latter of which has a segment terminus at this intersection as well.[3]History[edit]The first segment of MS\u00a0487 formally designated was the section road between Lena and MS\u00a035 in 1950.[4][5] The unimproved road on which it was designated had been part of the state highway system, however, since about 1948.[6][7] The highway was extended east along an unimproved road tom Sebastopol in 1957 and its alignment has generally remained since.[8][9]Major intersections[edit]References[edit]^ a b “MS Highways”.
