Oklahoma State Highway 59
State Highway 59, abbreviated SH-59, is a state highway in central Oklahoma. It runs from Criner, Oklahoma in McClain Co. to Wewoka. Route description. SH-59 begins at SH-39 north of Criner and immediately heads due south through that town. It turns due east six miles (9.6 km) north of Lindsay, serving Payne instead. After a concurrency with SH-24, SH-59 crosses SH-74 and has an interchange with I-35. Shortly after passing under the interstate, it meets US-77 south of Wayne, and passes through the small towns of Rosedale and Byars. Five miles (8 km) east of Byars , it meets U.S. Highway 177 and turns northward to join with it. SH-3W joins the concurrency five miles later. The three highways cross over the South Canadian River to enter Pottawatomie Co. just south of Asher. In Asher, SH-59 meets SH-39 a second time, and six miles (10 km) later it splits off from US-177 and SH-3W to head east again, through St. Louis, Oklahoma and Maud. It forms a concurrency with US-377/SH-99/SH-3E south of Seminole, before splitting off near Bowlegs. It meets US-270 west of Wewoka, and then ends two miles (3 km) later. History. SH-59 was  first added to the state highway system in 1932 and was entirely contained within McClain County, running from Wayne to State Highway 18 (present-day US-177). It was extended eastward to end at SH-48 (present-day US-377/SH-99) north of Bowlegs in 1947 or 1948. It was extended to its present eastern terminus in 1965 or 1966, and no significant changes have been made since. Spurs. SH-59A. SH-59A runs from US-177/SH-59 east to connect with SH-3W south of SH-59's own connection with the highway. This allows eastbound travelers to more easily access Ada. It is long. SH-59B. SH-59B  runs from SH-59 south to connect with SH-19 just east of Lindsay. It is long. SH-59B. A second SH-59B runs east from SH-102 through Macomb, ending at US-177 / SH-3W north of Asher, a distance of . (Neither Mapquest nor Google Maps show these endpoints; they instead indicate 59B runs from the vicinity of the Pottawatomie/Cleveland County line, well west of SH-102, east past that road to US-177. Google additionally shows 59B running past US-177 a short additional distance east to Oklahoma State Highway 18.) The highway's entire length lies in Pottawatomie County. SH-59B does not directly connect to SH-59
