It travels to the north and travels through Hinkleville. The highway curves to the west. After it curves to the west-northwest and crosses over Little Humphrey Creek, it enters LaCenter. It curves to the north-northwest has a one-block concurrency with US 60 (West Kentucky Drive) to the east-northeast. When KY 358 splits off, it resumes its north-northwesterly direction.
