Route description
MS 355 begins at an intersection with MS 346 in the community of Esperanza, north of Thaxton in Pontotoc County. The highway at this point is unsigned; it is not maintained by the state, rather by Pontotoc County as unsigned County Road 858 (CR 858). The road heads northwest, then north intersecting minor county roads and crossing Mill Creek as it passes through mostly agricultural fields. At the Pontotoc-Union county line, state maintenance and signage for MS 355 begins. The highway generally continues northwest through woods and farm fields. At Union CR 47, MS 355 reaches a T-intersection; MS 355 heads due west from this intersection. It later curves to the north passing through the community of Etta before ending at MS 30.
