Old Arkansas 51, Curtis to Gum Springs, is a stretch of historic roadway in Clark County, Arkansas. It is a roughly four-mile-long (6.4 km) stretch of concrete pavement, running on the west side of, and parallel to, the current alignment of U.S. Highway 67 (US 67), from Arkansas Highway 26 in Gum Springs southward most of the way to Curtis. This section of Highway 51, later replaced by US 67, was built in 1931, and served as part of the primary highway connecting Little Rock with Texarkana until the present alignment of US 67 was built in 1965. The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
