For its distance, it doesn't see too many other highways. Its first 23 miles have no highway intersections, and neither do its final 34 miles. As previously stated, OK 56 begins at the same intersection as OK 39's eastern terminus is located at U.S. 377/OK 3W/99 just north of the Canadian River. OK 56 heads east, then north towards Wewoka, where it shares two miles with Business U.S. 270. It also sees OK 59's eastern terminus while duplexed with the old routing of U.S. 270. OK 48 intersects OK 99A in the town of Cromwell, and intersects Interstate 40 less than three miles later. After crossing the interstate, OK 56 takes a mostly easterly track for several miles before meeting U.S. 62/OK 27 in Okemah, where it heads north for a couple blocks before heading east where U.S. 62 heads west and OK 27 has its northern terminus. After leaving Okemah behind, OK 56 winds its way near the Okmulgee State Park and the Okmlugee State Game Management Area, and finds its northern terminus as U.S. 75 in Okmulgee. A Loop 56 route exists between U.S. 75 and U.S. 62, bypassing Okmulgee on its northern and eastern sides.
