Highway 144 begins at US 165 near Jerome on the county line between Ashley and Drew County, where it runs east as a section line road into Chicot County.[3] The route crosses flat agriculture and aquaculture operations, intersecting Highway 293 in western Chicot County. Highway 144 intersects US 65/US 278/GRR at McMillan Corner, and a concurrency begins southbound. US 65/US 278/AR 144 run south into Lake Village, the county seat of Chicot County. Highway 144 breaks east from the concurrency toward downtown Lake Village at a junction with US 82, with US 65/US 82/US 278 continuing south toward Louisiana and Mississippi. Highway 144 enters the city as St. Mary's Street, passing the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery, Historic Section, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4] The route continues east along the southern edge of downtown Lake Village toward Lake Chicot, where it turns north at an intersection with Highway 159. Highway 144 continues north along the lake, serving as the eastern boundary of the Lake Village Commercial Historic District before eviting the city limits. The route intersects two segments of Highway 257 before intersecting a Mississippi River levee, where the route terminates.[5]

History

Highway 144 was created by the Arkansas State Highway Commission (ASHC) between US 165 and McMillan Corner. It first appeared on the 1933 state highway map.[6][7] The route was extended east along former US 82 to Leland landing, the main ferry crossing on the Mississippi River in the area, on the 1940 state highway map.[8] US 82 had been rerouted onto the new Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge, providing travelers with a bridge connection across the river.

The highway in Arkansas County was created March 28, 1973 pursuant to Act 9 of 1973 passed by the Arkansas General Assembly.[9] The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to Шаблон:Convert of county roads as state highways in each county.[10]
