The route headed due north for 7 3⁄4 miles (12.5 km) through rural Sac County to US 20 east of Sac City. Just before the intersection with old US 20, it crossed Cedar Creek, a tributary of the Raccoon River. It then continued north approximately 2 1⁄3 miles (3.8 km) to an interchange with the new US 20 expressway. Along US 71 / Iowa 175, Iowa 196 was signed TO US 20, and along US 20, it was signed TO US 71 south. US 71 north was not mentioned because the two routes met near Early.
