Route description
Route 213 begins at a T intersection with Route 20 on the southeast corner of the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site in northern Higginsville, immediately northeast of Route 20's junction with Missouri Route 13 Business (Route 13 Bus.). (Route 20 and Route 13 Bus. continue concurrently west for almost two miles [3.2 km] to both end at Missouri Route 13. Route 20 heads easterly toward Corder.) From its southern terminus, Route 213 proceeds north-northwest as a two-lane road along the east side of the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site. Just over one mile (1.6 km) later Route 213 leaves Higginsville and continues with a more northerly course as it passes through rural farmland for the rest of its route.[1][2]
About 1.3 miles (2.1 km) north of Higginsville, Route 213 passes through the small unincorporated community of Page City. Continuing north, Route 213 has two slight jogs to the east. Approximately four and a half miles (7.2 km) north of Page City Route 213 reaches its northern terminus at a T intersection with US 24 / Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) west of Dover and roughly 9 miles (14 km) east of Lexington. (US heads east toward Dover, Waverly, Carrollton, and Moberly. US 24 heads west toward Lexington, Independence, and Kansas City.)[1][2]
