Route description

Push Mountain Road

Highway 341 begins at Highway 14 east of Big Flat and winds north through the Ozark National Forest. The highway enters the corporate limits of Salesville, where it serves as the southern terminus of Highway 201 before turning east. After running 0.9 miles (1.4 km), the highway terminates at a junction with Highway 5 in Salesville.[3]

Tracy Ferry Road

Highway 341 begins at Highway 5 north of Briarcliff, Arkansas and runs northeast through a sparsely populated wooded area. The road is named Tracy Ferry Road and approaches Norfork Lake, where it terminates at Rocky Ridge Road with Tracy Ferry Road splitting and continuing to the southeast.

History

Highway 341 was first added to the state highway system when the segment between Highway 5 and Norfork Lake was added on August 25, 1965.[1] This segment has not undergone any changes since designation.

The second segment of Highway 341 was designated once the Arkansas State Highway Commission learned that the ferry running across the White River at the mouth of the North Fork River near Norfork was going to close, cutting off access to the southern portion of Baxter County. The Commission added the approach roads and ferry to the state highway system on July 26, 1967 following petitions by several Norfork residents and a group appearing before the Commission.[4] A bridge over the White River was commissioned, and the highway was rerouted onto the new bridge on October 25, 1972, matching its present-day alignment in the Norfork area.[5] The route was extended south along Push Mountain Road following a redesign of the highway on April 24, 1973[6] and extended further on February 27, 1974.[7]

gollark: I don't like arbitrary rules which seem as if they are clamping down on things for no reason, especially ones which will apparently be enforced through magic, and claiming something is for the benefit of all users doesn't make it the case.
gollark: What is the actual *problem* behind "trying to stop firms just pinging when one of the members post"?
gollark: It definitely won't help people who aren't here, for one thing.
gollark: I mean, I *guessed* what I thought people might see as it, I don't actually know.
