Route description

AR 238 to Lake Grove

First Highway 259 reassurance shield north of Highway 238

Highway 259 begins at Highway 238 west of Moro and runs north past a cemetery before turning east and meeting Highway 78 at South Plains. The two routes have a brief concurrency north before Highway 78 splits to the northwest and Highway 259 continues north.[3] Shortly after this junction, Highway 259 serves as the southern terminus for Highway 261. The highway runs north through New Salem before entering St. Francis County, where it terminates at US 70.[2]

AR 306 to AR 284

Highway 259 begins in the northwest corner of St. Francis County at Highway 306 and runs due north through flat farmland. The route runs into Cross County where it terminates at Highway 284.[3] The highway does not cross or overlap with any other state highways and essentially serves as a connector route between two rural routes.

AR 364 to Hickory Ridge

Highway 259 begins at Highway 364 in eastern Cross County. The route runs north through farmland to Highway 42 in Hickory Ridge, where it terminates.[3]

gollark: This is the same country and government which is running this thing to get children interested in cybersecurity stuff: https://www.joincyberdiscovery.com/.

gollark: I know that because someone in my year was suspended after finding that out, because that's always a reasonable way to encourage speaking up about security issues.

gollark: My school apparently had their CCTV camera software available on the internal network with the default password set.
