State Highway 110 (Oklahoma)
Encyclopedia
State Highway 110, often abbreviated as SH-110 or OK-110, is a two-lane road maintained by the U.S.
state of Oklahoma
. It is 9.99 miles (16.1 km) long, connecting SH-7
at its northern end to Dougherty
at its southern end. Along the way, it serves the western side of the Lake of the Arbuckles and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area
. It has no spur routes.
, is a winding, hilly route through the Arbuckle Mountains
. From the town, the highway runs northeast, then turns north to parallel Rock Creek, the outlet from the Lake of the Arbuckles. As the highway approaches the lake, it spawns the access road to Camp Goddard, a youth camp on the shore of the lake. SH-110 then turns to the northwest. It then eventually assumes a due north course and ends at SH-7 on the eastern fringe of Davis.
In 1957, this route was paved.
In 1965, SH-110 was decommissioned, due to the construction of Lake of the Arbuckles, the basin of which SH-110 ran through. This left Dougherty once again without direct access to the state highway system. In 1967, SH-110 was restored as a state highway along the SH-7C route. The highway was fully paved by 1968.
