Oklahoma State Highway 17
State Highway 17, abbreviated as SH-17, is an east–west highway in Oklahoma. It is a relatively short highway, extending for only 20.86 miles (33.57 km) from U.S. Highway 277 (US-277) in Elgin to Business US-81 in Rush Springs. It has no lettered spur routes (it does not connect to SH-17A in Wynnewood).
SH-17 was first established as a state highway, connecting Sterling to Rush Springs, in the mid-1930s. It was later extended west over a portion of SH-65, bringing its western terminus to Elgin.
