Georgia Routes 201-220

GA 201
21 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Walker, Whitfield, Catoosa
Southern Terminus: SR 136 in Villanow
Northern Terminus: SR 2 in Varnell

Route Information: SR 201 is split into two parts, joined with a 3-mile multiplex with US 41/SR 3 through Tunnel Hill.  The non-multiplexed portion totals 18 miles.  The northern portion between I-75 and SR 2 is presently being rebuilt as a two-lane improvement.
GA 202
14 Miles*
Counties Passed Through: Thomas, Colquitt
Southern Terminus: US 19/SR 300 north of Thomasville 
Northern Terminus: SR 111 eleven miles west of Moultrie

Route Information: Decommissioned south of US 19/SR 333 in early 1980's.  Originally extended 4 miles further south to end at US 319 in Thomasville. *Route shares a one-mile multiplex with SR 188, reducing actual route mileage to 13.
GA 203
47 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Pierce, Bacon, Appling, Wayne
Western Terminus: US 84/SR 38 in Blackshear
Eastern Terminus: US 84/SR 38 six miles southwest of Jesup

Route Information: In the early 1980's, SR 99 existed as a split route with the western portion joining SR 203.  This section of SR 99 extended from SR 32 six miles east of Alma to US 82 (now 84)/SR 38 southwest of Jesup at the present SR 203 eastern terminus.  By the late 1980's, SR 203 was extended entirely along this western portion of SR 99, effectively increasing the mileage from 20 to 47, more than doubling the total mileage.  Because of this, SR 203 now makes a wide arc with both ends at US 84.
GA 204
37 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Bryan, Chatham
Western Terminus: US 280/SR 30 in the Lanier community five miles west of Pembroke
Eastern Terminus: I-16 (Exit 165) in Savannah

Route Information: SR 204, as Abercorn Street, is the economic backbone of Savannah.  It features both of the towns malls and nearly all of the main business district, ending in downtown Savannah.  Interestingly enough, SR 204 did not even connect to the present route it does today, extending 21 miles from US 280 east of Pembroke and ending at US 17 five miles northeast of Richmond Hill.  In fact, Abercorn Street became the short-lived SR 359 before it became SR 204.  SR 359, added in FY 1963-64 was a spur that ended at Hunter AFB and was not connected to SR 204 at all.  The SR 359 segment finally became SR 204 in 1968 when the link of the two routes over the marshes was proposed and finally completed in 1972.
GA 205
12 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Cherokee
Local Name: Bells Ferry Road
Southern Terminus: SR 92 seven miles east of Acworth
Northern Terminus: Marietta Highway (Old SR 5/Old SR 20) in Canton
SR 205 (1981 GDOT Map)
Route Information: Decommissioned March 29, 1985 on the same date I-575 opened.  SR 205 was originally 9 miles long. When the SR 92 alignment along Kellogg Creek Road was removed in favor of the Old Alabama Road alignment, it was extended 3 miles longer.  Kellogg Creek Road is the gray line shown connecting into SR 205 from the southwest.  Also note proposed I-575, SR 713, in the pic.  Another map of SR 205 may be seen on the SR 5 page.

GA 208
54 Miles*
Counties Passed Through: Harris, Talbot, Taylor

GA 209
3 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Oconee
Local Name: Mars Hill Road
Southern Terminus: US 78/SR 10
Northern Terminus: Winder Highway (Old US 29/SR 8) in Bogart

Route Information: Decommissioned Route (around 1985).  It is no longer possible to drive Old SR 209 as a continuous roadway, since there is no crossover where the route connects SR 316.  See map above for SR 207, which also shows SR 209.
GA 210
1 Mile
Counties Passed Through: Walker
Local Name: West Brow Road
Southern Terminus: SR 157 in/on Lookout Mountain
Northern Terminus: Tennessee State Line
SR 210 (1976 GDOT Map)
Route Information: Route number changed to 189 in 1977.  It also appears that by the mid 1950's that SR 157 and SR 210 swapped places before entering Tennessee.
GA 211
32 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall
Local Names: Tanners Mill Road, Farm To Market Road, Thompson Mill Road, Statham Highway
Southern Terminus: US 29/SR 8/316 south of Statham
Northern Terminus: SR 60/332 in Belmont (10 miles south of Gainesville)

Route Information: SR 211 is actually three different roads loosely tied together with multiplexes.  SR 211 has a total of two multiplexes that result in the road being more important in some areas than others.  The northernmost section is between SR 53 in Chestnut Mountain and SR 60 in Belmont, totalling 4 miles and is locally known as Tanners Mill Road.  SR 211 then has a short multiplex along SR 53, turning off to the north.  The middle section, most widely traveled connects SR 53 in Chestnut Mountain to SR 11/53 in downtown Winder and totals 10 miles.  This section is known as Farm to Market Road in Hall County and Thompson Mill Road in Gwinnett and Barrow Counties.  From there, SR 211 turns northward along a multiplex with the two routes before turning eastward, multiplexed with SR 11 for three miles.  The result of this multiplex is an interesting assembly of "North 11, South 211".  SR 211 then turns off to the east along Statham Highway before turning south into Statham.  The original terminus was in Statham, but when US 29/SR 8 was relocated to SR 316 to the south, SR 211 was extended along former SR 324 a short ways to end at SR 316 where SR 324 would have continued west.  The Statham Highway section totals 9 miles.
GA 212
71 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Jasper, Newton, Rockdale, DeKalb
Western Terminus: SR 155 (Snapfinger Road) in southeast DeKalb County
Eastern Terminus: SR 22 west of Milledgeville

Route Information: SR 212 may seem like the longest road to be largely in the middle of nowhere, but hunters across Georgia see it differently as some of the best deer hunting in Georgia can be found in the Piedmont Plateau region around Milledgeville. SR 212 originally consisted only of the portion west of SR 81 at Snapping Shoals with SR 162 covering the remainder of the future route to Monticello.  SR 212 was extended to Milledgeville in FY 1958-59 with part of the route between US 129/SR 49 and Monticello remaining unpaved.  The route also featured a missing link forementioned between the former intersection of SR 36 and 162 and SR 81 in Snapping Shoals as the routes were soon to be tied together.  This missing link proved to last quite a while as the two 212's were not linked together until 1972.  SR 212 is a very angled highway and this was very much the case where the route joined SR 16 east of Monticello.  A very recent project to relocate the intersection further east to not have such a sharp angle was completed with the former road ending at a dead end and not connecting to SR 212.  SR 212 shares a one-mile multiplex with SR 16 in Monticello, reducing the mileage to total actual mileage to 70.
GA 213
31 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Newton, Jasper, Morgan, Putnam
Local Names: County Road 213, Broughton Road, Little River Road, Godfrey Road, Godfrey Highway
Western Terminus: SR 36 south of Covington
Eastern Terminus: SR 16 in Eatonton
SR 213 and SR 213 Spur (1981 GDOT Map)
Route Information: SR 213 was decommissioned in 1982.  The route originally consisted only of the portion between SR 36 and SR 83 in Pennington.    The original portion of the route, known today as "County Road 213", totalled 18 miles passing through the towns of Mansfield and Newborn and included a three-mile multiplex with SR 142.  The portion between SR 36 and SR 142 in Newborn is still known as "County Road 213", though it is a street name and not signed with a county route marker.  The original eastern segment between SR 142 and SR 83 is presently known as Broughton Road.  This section also included a SR 213 Spur joining SR 213/Broughton Road in Pennington west of SR 83 to SR 83 to the north.  In 1972, the route was made twice as long as it was multiplexed for two miles with SR 142 and then extended along present Little River and Godfrey Roads, which brought the route into Putnam County.  This new portion, not counting the SR 83 multiplex, totalled 15 miles to end as SR 16 in Eatonton.  Part of this new alignment included a breif multiplex with now decommissioned SR 300 near Rock Eagle.  
GA 214
7 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Macon
Local Route Number: 302
Western Terminus: SR 26 east of Fountainville
Eastern Terminus: SR 26/SR 90 in Oglethorpe
SR 214 and SR 217 (1968 GHD Map)
Route Information: Decommissioned October 1, 1982.  Decommissioning also included SR 214 By-Pass and SR 214 Spur, both which deferred main SR 214 from a direct link to SR 128.
GA 215
33 Miles*
Counties Passed Through: Ben Hill, Wilcox, Dooly
Western Terminus: SR 27 in Vienna
Eastern Terminus: SR 90 nine miles north of Fitzgerald

Route Information: SR 215 shares a five mile multiplex with US 280/SR 30 between Pitts and Rochelle.  *This multiplex is not included in the total mileage.
GA 216
41 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Calhoun, Randolph
Southern Terminus: SR 37 in Elmodel (8 miles west of Newton)
Northern Terminus: US 27/SR 1 in Cuthbert

Route Information: The northernmost portion of SR 216 was returned to local control upon completion of the Cuthbert By-Pass of US 27.  The route originally connected now US 27 Business one mile south of downtown Cuthbert.  The decommissioned portion was less than a mile.  SR 216 shares a breif multiplex with SR 37 in Edison and a one-mile multiplex with SR 45/62 in Arlington, reducing the route's actual mileage to 40.
GA 217
3 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Macon
Local Route Number: 257
Southern Terminus: SR 128 seven miles north of Oglethorpe
Northern Terminus: SR 127 one mile east of SR 128
SR 214 and SR 217 (1968 GHD Map)
Route Information: This is a hard packed dirt road that is east of SR 128 and south of SR 127 (forget the odd-even system).  It was decommissioned in 1969 and basically consisted of 2 roads-one crossing back over the other.  SR 217 has all appearances of a politically-motivated road that served no purpose whatsoever.
GA 218
3 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Walker and Catoosa
Local Name: Lakeview Drive
Western Terminus: Rossville Blvd. in Rossville (US 27/SR 1)
Eastern Terminus: Cloud Springs Road (SR 146) four miles east of Rossville
Lakeview Drive (SR 218) in 1986
Route Information: Decommissioned August 15, 1986 upon completion of Battlefield Parkway (SR 2).  Purpose of road was mostly due to Lake Winnepausauka Amusement Park.  This road is a suburban route on the southside of Chattanooga just below East Ridge, TN.  The route is not to current GDOT design specs, but there is a proposed widening of this road.

GA 219
59 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Muscogee, Harris, Troup, Heard
Southern Terminus: US 27/SR 1 in Columbus
Northern Terminus: SR 34 five miles west of Franklin

Route Information: SR 219 originally did not go all the way to Columbus.  Originally, the route ended at SR 103 about 22 miles north of downtown Columbus where SR 103 and SR 116 presently end into each other.  Originally, the present poriton of SR 219 south of here was part of SR 103.  As SR 103 once extended all the way to Buena Vista, SR 103 was later truncated to present county roads east of Columbus.  By the mid-1980's, SR 219 took over most of this remaining portion of SR 103, but was truncated in downtown Columbus.  It is also worth noting that the portion north of LaGrange is a historic alignment of US 27 between there and Franklin.
GA 220
18 Miles
Counties Passed Through: Lincoln
Southern Terminus: US 378/SR 47 four miles southwest of Lincolnton
Northern Terminus: US 378/SR 43 five miles northeast of Lincolnton
