The route curves northeast through farmland and continues to its northern terminus at PA 82 in the community of Doe Run. [2] [3]

History

When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, present-day PA 841 was not given a route number. [4] In 1928, PA 841 was designated onto an unpaved road running from Springdell northeast to PA 82. [5] [6] In 1937, PA 841 was extended south from Springdell to its current southern terminus at the Maryland border, following its current alignment. [7] [8] By 1940, the entire length of the route was paved. [8] PA 841 has remained along the same alignment since. [3]

The entire route is in Chester County.
