Now, State Route 206 followed the current State Route 541 from Martinsburg to the current southern terminus of State Route 206, and then the current routing of State Route 206 from that point northerly to the eastern junction of what is now State Route 715 (then known as State Route 42).

Then, in 1937, State Route 206 took on its current shape as it was extended northerly to its current northern terminus at
