Former state routes in Arizona
highway system
Below is a list and summary of the former state routes in Arizona, including mileage tables and maps. Between the establishment of Arizona's numbered state highway system in 1927 and the present date, several state routes have been decommissioned. Some state routes were retired as a result of the state relinquishing ownership to local authorities, while others were made extensions of or redesignated as other highways, with some former state routes being upgraded to U.S. Highway or Interstate status.
State Route 62
State Route 62 (SR 62) was a state highway in northwestern Arizona running a total of 3.50 miles (5.63 kilometres) from US 93 and US 466, north of Kingman to the mining town of Chloride. SR 62 was designated on May 5, 1936, coinciding with the extension of US 466 and US 93 across the Hoover Dam into Arizona. Despite the separate State Route designation from US 93/US 466, the Arizona State Highway Department considered SR 62 to be the "Chloride Spur" of both U.S. Highways. It was deleted from the state highway system on July 23, 1971 because of the closure of the mine in Chloride. The road is still in use today as Mohave County Road 125.
Major intersections
The entire route was in Mohave County.
State Route 63 (1932–1951)
State Route 63 (SR 63), was a 22.80-mile (37-kilometre) long state highway in northeastern Arizona.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Former state routes in Arizona” as highway system. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as highway system. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q807737. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1927, 1936, 1971 and 1932.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
