Highway 99 was a north–south highway in northwestern Arkansas. Its southern terminus was at Highway 45 near Dutch Mills with its northern terminus at the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Maysville, where it continued as Oklahoma State Highway 20 . In the 1930s it was truncated to Highway 68 (now U.S. Highway 412) in Siloam Springs, Arkansas and replaced by Highway 59. The northern segment was replaced by Highway 43 in 1971.
Famous quotes containing the words arkansas and/or highway:
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
