The highway was a partial bypass of Pratt that ran from U.S. Route 281 (US-281) just south of the city limits to US-54/US-400 east of them. The route was maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation until July 2016 when the road was turned over to Pratt County. K-64 was not part of the National Highway System. K-64 was designated at around 1932 and paved in 1937.

K-64 was decommissioned when the Kansas Department of Transportation expanded several miles of U.S. 54 east of Pratt to four lanes. In exchange for the expansion, Pratt County agreed to take control of K-64.
Route description
K-64 began at an intersection with US-281 just south of Pratt. The highway went east on a two-lane road through a hilly, slightly wooded area. The road passed south of an unnamed lake, then turned to the north. The route then crossed the south fork of the Ninnescah River and the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad before reaching its northern terminus at a T intersection with US-54 and US-400.
K-64 was maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). In 2012, the traffic on the route, calculated in annual average daily traffic, was 750 vehicles on the north–south section and 1260 vehicles on the east–west section. K-64 is not a part of the National Highway System, a system of highways considered important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.
