Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Arkansas Highway 377” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Arkansas, Highway and highway provides the most credible route into that argument.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation.
