OK 19 once had its western end at U.S. 81/U.S. 277 near Ninnekah. OK 58 ran along the current OK 19 between Cyril and the current OK 19/OK 58 intersection. Highway Review: Oklahoma's 13th longest state highway, OK 19 begins at U.S. 283/OK 6 in Blair, which is about 10 miles north of Altus in southwest Oklahoma. The highway begins its easterly journey toward the Great Plains State Park, and then curves to the north for a few miles before heading back east. The state park isn't actually located on the highway, but it is pretty close. The highway intersects U.S. 183 just north of the state park and joins OK 54 near Cooperton. After heading off on its own, OK 19 also follows OK 115 for a mile and joins OK 58 for about five miles. After heading through Boone, the highway intersects U.S. 62/281 in Apache. In Cyril, OK 19 joins U.S. 277 for 19 miles before the two highways head north on U.S. 81 south of Chickasha. OK 19 heads east on its own before actually entering Chickasha. The highway then heads due east for a few miles before it takes a turn to the southeast. Between U.S. 81 and its next major junction at OK 76 in Lindsay, there were once two lettered spurs off OK 19, OK 19C in Alex and OK 19D in Bradley. Although still shown on some maps, a trip through that area in January 2003 didn't reveal any sign that the highways exist. After OK 76 joins OK 19 for a mile or so in Lindsay, OK 19 heads due east once again. After heading through Maysville, however, the highway heads southeast and intersects Interstate 35 at its exit 72. OK 19 then heads through Pauls Valley, the county seat of Garvin County, and heads northeast for a few miles before straightening out once again. West of Ada, OK 19 finds its eastern end at OK 3W and the over 170-mile journey ends. **Highway Information:**Distance: 172.2 milesCounties traveled through: Jackson, Kiowa, Caddo, Grady, Garvin, PonotocHighway intersections: U.S. 283/OK 6 (Mile 0.0), U.S. 183 (Mile 22.7), OK 54 (Mile 31.5), OK 54 (Mile 34.5), OK 115 (Mile 43.4), OK 115 (Mile 44.4), OK 58 (Mile 50.4), OK 58 (Mile 54.4), U.S. 62/281 (Mile 64.9), U.S. 62/281 (Mile 65.4), U.S. 277 (Mile 74.3), OK 8 (Mile 75.3), U.S. 81 (Mile 90.5), U.S. 81/277 (Mile 93.5), OK 76 (Mile 115.8), OK 76 (Mile 116.8), OK 59B (Mile 117.8), OK 74 (Mile 127.9), Interstate 35 (Mile 137.9), U.S. 77 (Mile 140.4), U.S. 77 (Mile 140.6), OK 133 (Mile 147.7), U.S. 177 (Mile 156.7), OK 3W (Mile 170.8), OK 1/3 (Mile 172.2)Highway duplexes: OK 54 (Miles 31.5-34.5, 3.0 miles), OK 115 (Miles 43.4-44.4, 1.0 mile), OK 58 (Miles 50.4-54.4, 4.0 miles), U.S. 62/281 (Miles 64.9-65.4, 0.5 miles), U.S. 277 (Miles 74.3-93.5, 19.2 miles), U.S. 81 (Miles 90.5-93.5, 3.0 miles), OK 76 (Miles 115.8-116.8, 1.0 mile), U.S. 77 (Miles 140.4-140.6, 0.2 miles), OK 3W (Miles 170.8-172.2, 1.4 miles) WESTERN TERMINUS U.S. 283/OK 6, Blair OTHER HIGHWAY PICTURES OK 115 North/OK 19 East at OK 19 East.
