briefly entering mcduffie county at the bridge over brier creek the road encounters only local intersections, and momentarily turns east until it turns northeast again as it passes through avondale, then later enters columbia county at a culvert over boggy gut creek, gaining the name harlem-wrens road as well as the additional name of jake pollard highway. through the harlem city line the name changes to south louisville street, but still holds onto the dual name of jake pollard highway even as it intersects us 78/278/sr 10. north of there, the road becomes north louisville street and passes by columbia theatre, then a georgia railroad and banking company railroad crossing between south hicks street and north hicks street, and later the laurel and hardy museum. after leaving harlem, the street name changes from north louisville street to the harlem-appling highway. few sites exist along this segment, including intersections, all of which are paved whether significant or otherwise. among them is a shared intersection with fairview drive and old union road. on the northwest corner of the intersection with clary cut road, it passes a water tower and then harlem high school. north of a former section of harlem-appling highway it encounters a traffic circle with georgia state route 223. from there it runs through more georgia pine forest until it approaches a diamond interchange with interstate 20 (georgia state route 402) at exit 183, just east of a pair of rest areas, and about 20 miles west of augusta. another former segment is encountered after this, in this case it's named lonegran hulme road. the next major intersection is the western terminus of georgia state route 232 south of appling. within appling itself, us 221/sr 47 branches off to the northeast at ray owens road which continues straight, and then replaces the trajectory of white oak road to become scotts ferry road. aside from crossing a bridge over a greenbrier creek between tubman road and yelton road, and an extra northbound lane within the vicinity of a church, there isn't much in the way of notable features about the road.
