North Carolina Highway 41 (NC 41) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway travels in a north–south orientation between the South Carolina state line to Lumberton, then switches to an east–west orientation connecting the cities and towns of Elizabethtown, White Lake, Harrells, Wallace, Beulaville and Trenton. Route description History NC 41 first appeared on North Carolina state transportation maps in 1929. Upon establishment, the highway began in Wallace and continued east to intersect US 17-1 and NC 40 in Tin City. The highway continued northeast for through Chinquapin before intersecting NC 24 in Beulaville. From Beulaville, NC 41 continued in an northeasterly direction for until ending at NC 12 west of Trenton. At the time of establishment, the entire roadway was a graded road. By December 1930, NC 41 was extended west by from Wallace to NC 60 south of Delway. The new section of NC 41 from NC 60 to Wallace was also a graded road. NC 41 was extended west once more by 1933. The highway followed a brief concurrency with US 421 and NC 60 to Harrells Store before turning west and travelling to its new terminus at US 701 and NC 23 in White Lake. Additionally, the segment of NC 41 between Wallace and Tin City was paved by 1933. By 1935, NC 41 was extended west once more to the South Carolina state line. From the state line, the new alignment of NC 41 travelled north to Lumberton, replacing NC 70. In Lumberton it turned east, replacing NC 201 to Dublin, and then ran concurrently with NC 28 to Elizabethtown. In Elizabethtown, NC 41 began to run concurrently alongside US 701 until meeting its former terminus in White Lake. The entirety of the new alignment between South Carolina and White Lake was paved. The segment of NC 41 between US 421 near Harrells Store and US 117 near Wallace was also paved by 1935 and another segment between US 421 and the South River was upgraded to a topsoil, sand-clay, or gravel road. The segment west of the South River to US 701 was upgraded to a topsoil, sand-clay, or gravel road by 1936. The NC 28 and NC 41 concurrency between Dublin and Elizabethtown was replaced with a NC 41 and NC 87 concurrency in 1939 with no change to the routing of NC 41. By 1940,
