Four Corners of Mayes County
The cities and towns of the Four Corners region are linked by four major roadways. Interstate 44 and Oklahoma Highway 412 run east/ west from Tulsa toward Springdale, Arkansas, and connect Chouteau to Locust Grove. Oklahoma 20 also runs east/west linking Pryor Creek and Salina. Another east/west state highway, Oklahoma 28 links Adair and Langley.
On the west Oklahoma Highway 69 runs north/south linking Adair, Pryor Creek, and Chouteau. On the east, Oklahoma Highway 82 runs north/south linking Langley, Salina, and Locust Grove. A central element of the Guide for Growth will be anticipating the impact of new development on this roadway network.
Although the roadways are critical to the quality of life of the Four Corners regions, there are concerns about the increased traffic that will come with future development, as well as the present impact of truck traffic on the safety and character of the Four Corners communities today, particularly Chouteau and Pryor Creek along Highway 69.
