Arkansas Highway 141

The Highway 141 designation and state maintenance begin on Culberhouse Street in Jonesboro in Craighead County. It runs north as a two-lane section line road, passing Craighead Forest Park and residential parts of Jonesboro, with homes growing increasingly dense as the road travels north. Highway 141 terminates at Parker Road, a frontage road for Interstate 555/US 49/US 63/AR 18.[5]

The Highway 141 designation begins in Jonesboro as Main Street at a bridge over a rail yard where a One-way pair of roads (Main Street and Union Street) combine north of downtown Jonesboro. At the north end of the bridge, Highway 141 intersects Highway 91 (Johnson Avenue) then continues north through a residential area of the city. Highway 91 crosses Lost Creek Ditch before curving one block and becoming Church Street. The road continues north, passing the Jonesboro Math and Science Magnet School, crossing Culberhouse Lateral, and running through a neighborhood known as Philadelphia before leaving the city limits of Jonesboro and entering a rural part of Craighead County.[5] At an intersection with Craighead County Road 766 (New Haven Church Road), Highway 141 meets the Crowley's Ridge Parkway, a National Scenic Byway designation that follows the Crowley's Ridge landform, with the Parkway designation following Highway 141 northbound through the unincorporated communities of Sterling Spring and Herndon before entering Greene County.[6]

Shortly upon entering Greene County, Highway 141 serves the entrance drive (unsigned AR 600) to Lake Frierson State Park, and runs along the park's eastern boundary. After crossing Big Creek, Highway 141 has a junction with Highway 168 near Lorado, with a concurrency forming northbound. Highway 141, Highway 168, and Crowley's Ridge Parkway continue together northbound through a rural part of Crowley's Ridge, serving as the western terminus of Highway 358, passing through Ebenezer, and serving the Mt. Zion Baptist Camp. The concurrency ends upon reaching Walcott, with Highway 141 turning left and Highway 168 and the Parkway designation continuing northeast toward Crowley's Ridge State Park. Continuing west, Highway 141 turns north to become a section line road through a sparsely populated agricultural area, briefly serving as the western boundary of Crowley's Ridge State Park before intersecting US Highway 412 (US 412). Highway 141 continues north, bridging Old Sugar Creek, turning in Stanford, crossing Lick Creek, and intersecting Highway 34 in Beech Grove. North of this junction, Highway 141 winds to the northeast, roughly paralleling the Cache River and serving as the northwestern edge of the W.E. Brewer Scatter Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) before reaching Hooker, where it junctions with Highway 135, which carries the Crowley's Ridge Parkway designation southbound. Highway 141 takes the Parkway designation northbound from this junction into Clay County.[7]

Highway 141 winds north through the unincorporated community of Knob, where it passes a historic schoolhouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places,[8] before forming a concurrency with Highway 90 toward Boydsville. In Boydsville, Highway 141 and Crowley's Ridge Parkway turn north from Highway 90 and begin running as a section line road to the small town of McDougal 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south of the Missouri state line. In McDougal, Highway 141 terminates at an intersection with US 62 (Dale Street), with the Parkway designation following US 62 eastbound.[9]
