Route description

Commencing in Oregon in Holt County, the highway travels west, from its southern terminus, out of town 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to Forest City. Afterward, Route 111 follows the western edge of the Loess Bluffs northwest for five miles (8.0 km) where it junctions with U.S. Route 159 (US 159) and enters the Missouri River Valley. It runs concurrently with US 159 west for around five miles (8.0 km) passing Fortescue to the south, then turns north just southeast of Big Lake. The highway continues along the east side of Big Lake and through the town of Big Lake for four miles (6.4 km) where it meets Route 118. The highway travels west for a mile (1.6 km) then north five miles (8.0 km) to the town of Craig, where Route 111 Spur begins.

Route 111 travels 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west from Craig before continuing northwesterly towards Corning. Around here is where Route 111 is closest to the Missouri River, being only 7⁄8 mile (1.4 km) east at a point. The highway passes by the national historic place, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Corning Missouri. Leaving Corning, the highway travels northwesterly, exiting Holt County, Missouri after 1.5 miles (2.4 km).

Entering Atchison County, Route 111 travels northwest four miles (6.4 km) before curving right and travels northerly another four miles (6.4 km). The highway crosses Interstate 29 (I-29) at exit 107 and continues north-northeast three miles (4.8 km) up the Loess Bluffs towards Rock Port. The highway travels through Rock Port as Main Street and meets its northern terminus with US 136.
