Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 400 (US-400) just south of McCune, and its eastern terminus is the Missouri state line where it continues as Route 126.

On October 11, 1940, the section from Pittsburg east to the Missouri state line was designated as K-104. On September 30, 1943, US-160 was realigned to follow K-126's current route from US-400 to Pittsburg, K-104 was moved to a highway from K-7 east to US-69, and the highway from Pittsburg east to the Missouri line was designated as K-126. Then in 1958, US-160 was realigned to go directly east from south of McCune to US-69 and at that time K-126 was extended along the old US-160 through McCune to end at the new US-160 (modern US-400).
