State Highway 100 (abbreviated SH-100 or OK-100) is a 54.9-mile (88.4 km) long (88.4 km) state highway in eastern Oklahoma. It connects Interstate 40 with the Arkansas state line near Stilwell. It has no lettered spur routes.

Route description

SH-100 begins at I-40 Exit 287. It heads north to meet US-64 in Webbers Falls, and overlaps it until Gore. In the Gore area, it has a brief overlap with State Highway 10 as well. After Gore, it splits off on its own and heads roughly northeast. It meets State Highway 10A near Lake Tenkiller, where it turns due east. Near Box, it meets State Highway 82, where it turns north and overlaps.

After 13 miles (21 km) concurrent with SH-82, SH-100 splits off on its own and heads eastward, meeting US-59 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Stilwell.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Oklahoma State Highway 100” as highway in Oklahoma. 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 138-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1954-06-07. The account is most persuasive where Oklahoma, State and Highway can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

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

Evidence profile

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 Feb 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2173985. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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.
