Highway 46 (AR 46, Ark. 46, and Hwy. 46) is a

Arkansas Heritage Trail for its use by both armies during the Camden Expedition of the Civil War
.

History

AR 46 was one of the

US Highway 167
(US 167) in Sheridan (now [U.S. Route 167B).

The route was extended east to the Jefferson County line during a period of highway system expansion after Act 9 of 1973 was passed by the Arkansas General Assembly.[3] The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.[4] The following year, the route was extended east to Redfield.[5] The final extension came in 1976, adding 1.2 miles (1.9 km) to the Arkansas Power and Light Company's White Bluff Steam Electric Plant as an industrial access road.[6]

The segment of AR 46 between AR 9 and Sheridan is an Arkansas Heritage Trail, used during the

Mosby M. Parsons, John G. Walker and Jo Shelby's units also traveled between AR 9 and Leola to the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry
, and at other points during the campaign.
