Route description
SR 227 begins at an intersection with SR 46 east of Soperton. Here, the roadway continues as unsigned Treutlen County Road 141 (Sweet Onion Road). SR 46 heads northwest to the Treutlen County Airport and Soperton. It heads north, intersecting Treutlen CR 60 (Gillis Tennant Road). Then, it intersects Treutlen CR 45 (Joe Moxley Road, which heads northeast) and Corsey Grove Way (which heads southwest). A short distance to the north-northwest, it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 221/SR 56, northeast of Soperton.[1]

History
SR 227 was established in 1950 along the same alignment as it runs today. It was paved along its whole length at this time, as well.[2][3]
