Route 48 is a state highway in northwestern Missouri. Its western terminus is located at U.S. Route 71 (US 71) north of Savannah. The route travels eastward across the communities of Rosendale, Rea, and Whitesville. The road ends at US 169 in King City, about 20 miles (32 km) from its beginning. The road was designated around 1926, completely surfaced with gravel by 1936, and paved with asphalt by 1942.
The route is located in Andrew and Gentry counties. In 2015, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) calculated as many as 876 vehicles traveling on Route 48 east of US 71, and as few as 527 vehicles traveling west of Route B. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year.
