SCORR is THE departure gate for IFR piston aircraft leaving the Detroit
area southbound.

ANNTS and CRUXX are where Detroit wants you inbound from the South.

Toledo Approach has a good web page which details this:

Look under "Preferred Routes"

Thanks for the suggestions Andrew.

The preferred routes are listed in the AF/D. But those are pretty much
useless. You can get a better clue for the routing by looking at the
STARs. Coming from Columbus you would use Cruxx Four arrival. Just
file direct to Cruxx and then radar vectors to your destination. That
way you are more likely to get cleared as filed. For the departure,
since your airport does not have a DP, look at the DP for a nearby
airport (PTK). Looking at Pontiac Eight Departure, a good choice would
be radar vectors to SCORR intersection and then direct. If you file it
that way, you are likely to get cleared as filed.
I have done it this way many times and has worked most of the time.
