The Little Rock to Cantonment Gibson Road-Old Wire Road Segment is a historic road section in Conway County, Arkansas. It consists of a section of Old Wire Road, southwest of the hamlet of Blackwell, which is about long and wide. It is defined in part by the cut through which it passes, with steep banks on either side. Built in 1827, it is one of the oldest surviving road alignments of the military road built between Little Rock, and what is now Fort Gibson in Oklahoma. This route formed part of the Trail of Tears, the historic removal of Native Americans to the Indian Territory that is now Oklahoma. Read more on Wikipedia
