Source-derived summary

State Route 241 (SR 241) is a 12.0-mile-long (19.3 km) north–south state highway that lies mostly in northwestern Lawrence County, Tennessee, with a small portion extending into southern Lewis County.

Route description

SR 241 begins in Lawrence County as Red Hill-Center Road at an intersection with US 64/SR 15 between Lawrenceburg and Deerfield. It heads northwest through farmland and rural areas to have an intersection and short concurrency with SR 240 before passing along the eastern edge of the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area as Napier Road. The highway then enters more wooded areas to cross into Lewis County, where it passes by the Natchez Trace Trading Post and the Natchez Trace RV Campground before taking a turn to the west to enter the Wildlife Management Area shortly before coming to an end at an interchange with the Natchez Trace Parkway, with the road continuing on as Napier Lake Road. The entire route of SR 241 is a two-lane highway.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Tennessee State Route 241” as state highway in Tennessee, United States. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 160-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Tennessee, 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 state highway in Tennessee, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q85805730. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. 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.
