It is the westernmost major tributary of the Altamaha.US 341 Business/ SR 26, where SR 26 joins the concurrency. Shortly after crossing the river, this major concurrency meets its eastern end. US 129 Alternate/SR 26/SR 112/SR 257 head to the northeast, US 341/SR 27 continue to the east, and SR 230 departs to the southeast. Farther to the southeast, SR 230 enters Dodge County. About after the county line, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 87.
The section that is concurrent with US 341 is the only section of SR 230 that is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.
History
SR 230 was established in 1944 along an alignment from SR 90 in Byromville to US 41/SR 7 in Unadilla. In 1950, this original section was paved. By 1960, the road's western terminus was extended to an intersection with US 280/ SR 30 southeast of its current western terminus, and its eastern terminus was extended along its current alignment to its current eastern terminus. It was paved from a point about southeast of Byromville to the Pulaski-Dodge county line. and by 1963, the section within Dodge County was paved. By 1966, it was completely paved from Drayton to its eastern terminus. By 1977, the section between US 280/SR 30 and SR 27 was decommissioned.
