Source-derived summary

The following is a list of state highways in the U.S. state of Louisiana designated in the 51-100 range prior to the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering.

Louisiana State Route 51

Louisiana State Route 51 existed from 1921 to 1955.

Louisiana State Route 52

Louisiana State Route 52 ran 33.5 miles (53.9 km) in a general east–west direction from US 171/US 190/State Route 42 southeast of DeRidder, Beauregard Parish to the junction of US 165/State Route 24 and State Route 25 in Oberlin, Allen Parish.

Louisiana State Route 53

Louisiana State Route 53 ran 3.6 miles (5.8 km) in a north–south direction from State Route 1 in LaPlace to the junction of State Route 33 and State Route 1141 in Frenier, St. John the Baptist Parish. Most of the route was concurrent with US 51.

Louisiana State Route 54

Louisiana State Route 54 existed from 1921 to 1955.

Louisiana State Route 55

Louisiana State Route 55 ran 27.1 miles (43.6 km) in a north–south direction from the junction of US 79/US 80/State Route 4 in Shreveport, Caddo Parish to the Arkansas state line north of Ida. The route was entirely concurrent with US 71. The above mileage reflects a gap in the route between Dixie and Gilliam, as that portion of the highway was being relocated at the time of the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of original highways in Louisiana (51–100)” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1955, 1921, 1141—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, original and highways can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

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 Q122898369. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1955, 1921 and 1141.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
