next_route=11Highway 10 is a major east-west highway in western and central Arkansas. Its western terminus is at the
Oklahoma state line where it continues as State Highway 120 betweenRock Island, Oklahoma andHackett, Arkansas . Its eastern terminus is in downtown Little Rock, atInterstate 30 .The path of Arkansas 10 covers mountainous terrain, particularly in its more western portions.
Mount Magazine , Arkansas's highest point, lies just to the north of the highway, as does the adjoining Mount Magazine State Park. Arkansas 10 also passes through a portion of theOzark National Forest and parallel to the Petit Jean River, Petit Jean Wildlife Management Area and Lake Maumelle — a chief source of water for residents in the Little Rock metropolitan area.Arkansas 10 enters Little Rock in the far northwestern part of the city, doubling as Cantrell Road and, closer to downtown, continuing as LaHarpe Boulevard; in downtown, it uses one block of Cumberland Street, then continues as an extended on-ramp to I-30 where it ends. The far western portions of Cantrell Road in recent years have been the site for increased commercial development in Little Rock, including the controversial 2004 opening of a
Wal-Mart Supercenter near upscale residential communities immediately south of the highway in Chenal Valley. In the portion betweenInterstate 430 in the west and downtown in the east, Arkansas 10/Cantrell Road (as classified by the regional governmental council, Metroplan) is a primary traffic artery for northern Little Rock including the upper part of the Pulaski Heights section of the city, and is one of the most traveled thoroughfares aside from local interstates in Little Rock.Aside from Little Rock in Pulaski County, the highway also passes through
county seat s in four other Arkansas counties — Greenwood, Sebastian County; Booneville, Logan County; Danville, Yell County; and Perryville, Perry County.pur route
