Arkansas Highway 13
highway in Arkansas
Arkansas Highway 13 (AR 13) is a designation for three state highways in Central Arkansas. One segment of 54.79 miles (88.18 km) runs from U.S. Highway 63/U.S. Highway 79 (US 63/US 79) in Humphrey north to Campground Road east of Beebe. A second segment of 17.76 miles (28.58 km) runs from AR 367 in McRae north to AR 385 west of Judsonia. A third segment of 5.91 miles (9.51 km) runs from AR 367 in Judsonia north to AR 258 east of Providence.
The southern part of AR 13 was replaced by AR 81 during World War II. Then, in 1989, when US 425 was commissioned, it replaced most of AR 81.

Why this record matters
The phrase “highway in Arkansas” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2430999. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
