. The region around and north of Norge was rural, with very little development. SH-92 headed in different directions, mainly to the north/northeast. After West Country Club Road, the highway began to enter Chickasha, making a curve to the east onto West Grand Boulevard. The route continued eastward, becoming concurrent with US-81 and US-277 in Chickasha. Grand Avenue continued after. The route continued unsigned until the junction with US-62/ SH-9, where it split away from US-81 to the east, following US-277. This segment was not assigned until 1957. That segment of SH-92 was decommissioned in 2003, bringing the highway to its current southern terminus.
