Route description

Meads Hill Road

Meads Hill Road, which eventually becomes Route 329, begins at an intersection with New York State Route 414. The road progresses to the northeast, shortly crossing a railroad track. The local road intersects with Mill Hill Road and turns northward. There are forests surrounding Meads Hill Road for a short distance, until the surroundings are dominated by fields. There are a few houses just north of the surrounding change, however, it becomes a little more common soon after. Meads Hill Road does not go into any village or city, so the whole route is located in a township.[2]

The local road still continues northward, passing the same surroundings as earlier. There is an intersection with Wedgewood Road, where the surroundings become divided along the highway. On the eastern side, there are forests, and on the western side, there are fields and a few trees. However, after an unnamed local road, Meads Hill Road is surrounded by trees and returning homes for a distance. At the intersection with Schuyler County Route 16 (Steuben Street), there is a small amount of civilization, with homes and fields returning to the road. The road continues northward and parallels Willow Road before terminating at New York State Route 329.
