It ran in a south to north direction for 150.30 miles (241.88 km), spanning from Alexandria through the Louisiana Delta to the Arkansas state line. LA 14 was later superseded for the most part by US 165.

Beginning at Arkansas State Line, near Jones, through Bonita, Mer Rouge, Bastrop, Monroe, Columbia, Tullos, Selma, Hawcott, Pollack (sp.), to Alexandria. - 1924 Louisiana Legislative Route Description
From the south, LA 14 began at an intersection with US 71/LA 1, continuing north and serving as the terminus for LA 20 and joining LA 5 into the city of Pineville. LA 14 was helped through northeastern Louisiana by US 165, crossing paths with US 84 and LA 6, 17, and 68 before meeting LA 15 in Monroe.
After mingling with US 80 and LA 4, LA 14 split to the northeast, running between Monroe and Bastrop, where LA 14 joined US 165 for a last time. LA 14 was also joined with LA 11 from Bastrop to Mer Rouge, where LA 14 and US 165 turned to the north, while LA 11 continued east to Oak Grove. LA 14 ended shortly thereafter at the Arkansas state line.
