Route description

AR 356 begins at AR 92 east of Bee Branch and south of Morganton in southern Van Buren County. The route runs east for through a sparsely populated part of the Arkansas Ozarks, passing through the unincorporated community of Fairbanks before entering Cleburne County.^[4] AR 356 continues east to a junction with AR 255, where the route turns south to cross Cadron Creek and enter the small town of Quitman. In Quitman, the route is named Bee Branch Road^[5] and runs south to intersect a concurrency between AR 25/AR 124, where it terminates.^[6]

History

The Arkansas General Assembly passed the Act 148 of 1957, the Milum Road Act, creating 10–12 miles (16–19 km) of new state highways in each county.^[7] The Arkansas State Highway Commission created AR 356 along a county road in Van Buren County on July 10, 1957.^[3] It was extended from the Cleburne-Van Buren County line to Quitman on June 29, 1960, as part of an extension of many Milum Roads to "more logical termini".^[8]
