  SH 41 begins at an intersection with US 160 in the southwestern corner of Montezuma County, roughly 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Teec Nos Pos and the Four Corners Monument. The highway heads north–northwest paralleling the San Juan River for approximately 9.5 miles (15.3 km) until it reaches its northern terminus at the Utah state line, roughly 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Aneth.
