State Route 634 (SR 634) is a 17.95-mile-long (28.89 km) state highway in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The highway runs from its southern terminus at its junction with SR 189 and SR 190 in Fort Jennings to its northern terminus at the intersection of SR 15 nearly 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Continental. SR 634 runs entirely within Putnam County and is entirely a two-lane highway.
SR 634 was commissioned in the late 1930s, the northern terminus was in Defiance County. Some of the highway was paved when it was commissioned. The last section to be paved was in the early 1950s. The northern terminus was moved to its current location in the late 1960s.
SR 634 begins at an T-intersection in Fort Jennings, SR 189 enters from the northwest and SR 190 enters from the southwest. SR 190 and SR 634 leave the T-intersection concurrent, heading northeast. The road passes through residential properties, as a two-lane highway. Before leaving Fort Jennings, SR 634 leaves SR 190, heading due north. SR 634 heads north, leaving Fort Jennings and entering rural Putnam County. In rural Putnam County the road passes through farmland, as a two-lane highway. The road has an intersection with U.S. Route 224 (US 224), in rural Jackson Township. Here, SR 634 has its lowest traffic counts; within the 2011 ODOT survey, the road is listed with an average annual daily traffic (AADT) of 450 vehicles on a section of highway that is between US 224 and SR 114. At Township Road M (T–M), SR 634 makes a sharp turn, heading due west. That turn is followed by another sharp turn due north. The highway has a T-intersection with SR 114 in Cloverdale. SR 634 heads due east, concurrent with SR 114, before SR 634 turns northwest bound and SR 114 continues southeasterly. The road heads northwest, leaving Cloverdale and begins to parallel the Auglaize River.
