This
45-mile portion of Highway 309 was designated as an Arkansas Scenic
Byway in 1994. This byway
starts at highway 10 in Havana and proceeds north over Mount Magazine,
the highest point in Arkansas at 2,753 feet.
This mountain was named by French explorers who recognized a
resemblance to magazines used by the French military to store
ammunition.
North
of Mount Magazine, Highway 309 descends into the rich farmland of the
Arkansas River Valley where it ends at Highway 23 in Webb City.
