Back then, the highway went only as far west as U.S. 169 in Lenapah, and as far south as U.S. 64 in Gore, which was U.S. 64/OK 1 in 1953. **Highway Review:**OK 10 is a strange highway. It runs east-west for its first 100 miles, then runs north-south for the remainder of its course. It is Oklahoma's sixth-longest state highway at just more than 235 miles. Starting its easterly trek at OK 99 in the middle of the Osage Indian Reservation, OK 10 curves its way around the reservation for 24 miles before its first highway. OK 10 has two dam crossings during these 24 miles, one at Hulah Lake and the other at Copan Lake. The speed limit is set at 55 for this first stretch of highway. Sixteen miles after intersecting U.S. 75 near Copan, OK 10 intersects U.S. 169 and has a 4.5 mile duplex with the federal highway. OK 10 then heads east for 32 miles of no highway intersections before intersecting U.S. 59 and OK 2 in the town of Welch. U.S. 59 joins OK 10 for the first of two times that the highways are duplexed. U.S. 59 departs OK 10 where U.S. 69 joins on west of Miami. U.S. 69 departs on its own in Miami, and OK 10 intersects Interstate 44 and OK 69A on the eastern fringes of Miami. Eight miles east of the interstate, the highway intersects OK 10C, where OK 10 then becomes a north-south highway. Highway intersections are much more frequent on the north-south portion. The ride is also much more scenic as the highway winds through eastern Oklahoma. In Grove, U.S. 59 joins OK 10 once again, this time for a 31.5 mile duplex that lasts until Scenic U.S. 412 in Kansas. After shedding U.S. 59, OK 10 goes through 26 miles of no highway intersections, but the drive is much more scenic. OK 10 then bypasses the city of Tahlequah with U.S. 62 and OK 51. OK 51's duplex with OK 10 is relatively short at just four miles, but U.S. 62 shares a 25-mile long duplex with OK 10 before they split east of Muskogee. OK 10 then skirts the Arkansas River and Lake Tenkiller. OK 10 shares short duplexes with OK 100 and U.S. 64 near the town of Gore, and less than two miles after U.S. 64 leaves OK 10 behind, Oklahoma's sixth-longest state highway comes to an end at Interstate 40.
