Source-derived summary

Arkansas Highway 10 (AR 10) is an east–west state highway in western Arkansas. The route runs 135.4 miles (217.9 km) from the Oklahoma state line east to Interstate 30 (I-30) in Little Rock, the state's capital. The highway serves both the Fort Smith metropolitan area and the Little Rock – North Little Rock – Conway metropolitan area.

Aside from Little Rock in Pulaski County, the highway also passes through county seats in four other Arkansas counties — Greenwood, Sebastian County; Booneville, Logan County; Danville, Yell County; and Perryville, Perry County. Mount Magazine, Arkansas's highest point, lies just to the north of the highway, as does the adjoining Mount Magazine State Park. Highway 10 also passes through a portion of the Ozark National Forest and parallel to the Petit Jean River, Petit Jean Wildlife Management Area and Lake Maumelle — a chief source of water for residents in the Little Rock metropolitan area.

Route description

The route begins at the Oklahoma state line as a continuation of OK-120 and runs east to Hackett. Highway 10 intersects Highway 45 in Hackett, and continues east to Greenwood. Highway 10 passes through downtown Greenwood, passing Highway 10S and the Old Sebastian County Jail, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The highway leaves town and passes Fort Chaffee on its way to Logan County.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Arkansas Highway 10” as highway in Arkansas. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Arkansas, Highway and highway.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 223-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1926. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Arkansas, Highway and highway providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Critical limits

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.
