Route 413 begins at an intersection with
Route 13,
Route 76 and
Route 265 in
Branson West. Route 265 joins up with 413 at the southern terminus and the two routes are concurrent. The roads head north and intersect with local roads. Routes 76 and 13 parallel Routes 413 and 265 as the roads continue out of Branson West. The routes proceed through a mountainous region and enter Reeds Spring, where they intersect with a now-separated Route 76. Routes 413 and 265 pass to the west of
Emerson Airport and continue northward, still paralleling Route 13. with another highway. Routes 413 and 265 turn sharply to the west and intersect with
Route 248. Route 248 joins the concurrency and the three roads make several changes in direction before steadily heading north. Routes 413, 265, and 248 begin to turn in different directions again and cross through more rural territory. The three roads go through a dense forest just south of
Galena. At the intersection with
Route 176, the three routes turn to the west, where Route 248 turns off. Routes 413 and 265 continue farther west. Northwest of Galena, the roads intersect with their first
supplemental route, Route AA. Routes 413 and 265 head through farmlands, where
Route 173 terminates. The roads intersect with another county road in
Elsey as they continue northward. Routes 265 and 413 pass a dense forest to the north and heads into
Crane. The routes leave Crane after intersecting with a few county and local roads. Near Logan, Route 265 turns off to the west and Route 413 continues northward. Route 413 intersects and becomes concurrent with
U.S. Route 60. Routes 413 and 60 then enter the
Billings city limits.
Route 14 intersects soon afterward. 413 and 60 head northeast into
Republic intersecting the eastern terminus with
Route 174. 413, and 60 then continue northeast towards
James River Freeway where U.S. 60 splits off to the east, merging onto James River Freeway, and Route 413 heads northeast into
Springfield, where Route 413 comes to an end at Route 13. == History ==
