and New Lima Road. The highway runs north-northeasterly from this intersection, passing a number of residences as it goes through the hamlet of Harrisonville. State Route 684 departs Harrisonville and enters into a more rural setting that features a blend of woods, meadows and houses abutting the highway. The route bends to the north and then northwest, as it passes through its intersection with Vance Road. Continuing to the northwest, State Route 684 traverses a more heavily wooded area, and curves to the north prior to meeting King Ridge Road. For the remainder of its trek, patches of open space appear amidst the vast groupings of trees alongside the state highway. The route winds its way to the northwest and then north before bending back to the northeast. State Route 684 next curves to the north, passes Wells Cemetery, and then bends sharply to the west. The highway approaches the hamlet of Pageville at this point, passing a couple of homes as it bends to the north into the T-intersection that marks its endpoint at State Route 692
