Route description
Hwy 379 begins in the Rural Municipality of Swift Current No. 137 at a junction with Hwy 4 just outside of Wymark, with the road continuing west as Hwy 721. Heading east, concurrent with Hwy 721, it crosses a small creek to travel through the southern part of the hamlet, where it crosses Canadian National Railway's Vanguard subdivision, before leaving Wymark and travelling just to the north of Schoenfeld, connected via Range Road 3132, and just to the south of Schoenwiese, connected via Range Road 3131. Entering the Rural Municipality of Coulee No. 136 as it travels along the north side of Chortitz, the highway travels to the south of Rosenort, connected via Range Road 3123, and Rheinfeld, connected via an access road, before coming to the intersection between Township Road 134 and Range Road 3122, with Hwy 721 continuing east along Township Road 134 while Hwy 379 turns south along Range Road 3122. Not long after, Hwy 379 enters the hamlet of McMahon via crossing a small stream, where it crosses a former railway line shortly before coming to an end at the intersection with Township Road 132, with Range Road 3122 continuing south as a municipal road. The entire length of Hwy 379 is a paved, two-lane highway.[2]
