Source-derived summary

State Route 380 (SR 380) is a 5.8-mile-long (9.3 km) state highway that travels west-to-east in a southern arc entirely within Jasper County in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway acts as a partial bypass of Monticello.

Route description

SR 380 starts at an intersection with SR 83 (Forsyth Street) southwest of Monticello. Immediately, the route crosses over a Norfolk Southern Railway line and travels to the southeast. The route curves to the south-southeast and back to the southeast. It passes north of Malone Lake before curving to the east and intersecting SR 11 south of the town. Then, SR 380 travels to the northeast to an intersection with SR 212 (Milledgeville–Monticello Road) east-southeast of Monticello. Just past this intersection, SR 380 meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 16 east of town.

SR 380 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

History

The road that would eventually become SR 380 was established in 1983 along the current routing of SR 380, although it was designated as SR 83 Connector.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Georgia State Route 380” as highway in Georgia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1983—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1983. The account is most persuasive where Georgia, State and Route can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as highway in Georgia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2428586. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
