Route description

A T-intersection with US 68 in Salem Township located approximately one-half mile (0.80 km) south of the boundary between Champaign and Logan counties, and one mile (1.6 km) south of West Liberty, marks the starting point of SR 507. Heading east from there, this state route jogs northeasterly briefly before continuing easterly through farm country. Passing its intersection with McClain Road, SR 507 turns to the southeast. At Champaign County Road 223, SR 507 bends to the northeast, and continues in that direction through its junction with SR 245 near the Ohio Caverns, where the highway comes to an end. The roadway continuing beyond SR 245 after SR 507 terminates is Mount Tabor Road.^[2]

Salem Township is one of the twelve townships of Champaign County, Ohio, United States. The 2010 census reported 2,539 people living in the township, 2,382 of whom lived in the unincorporated portions of the township.

A popular tourist destination and member of the National Caving Association, it is the largest of all the cave systems in Ohio and contains many crystal formations. Approximately 90% of its stalactite and stalagmite formations are still active. The cavern system was originally an aquifer, holding an underground river of melted glacier water. This river eventually receded to lower levels of the ground and is now unseen.
