Hiwassee Culvert - Arcadia, OK - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

The word Hiwassee is a Cherokee word for "savanna" or "large meadow". The area east of the town of Arcadia is such a place. This culvert is located about one-quarter mile north of Route 66 on Hiwassee Road, at the crossing of a small unnamed creek.

The culvert flows east-west and is constructed of reinforced concrete, with the tunnel being approximately three feet by five feet. On each side of the road above the culvert opening a concrete curbing is stamped "WPA 1937". At the time of our visit, this area of Oklahoma has been in a five-month drought and there is no water to be seen near this culvert today. The website shown below contains a full report of New Deal road work in Oklahoma.
