State Highway 14, abbreviated as SH-14, is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is long, with its entire route falling in Woods County in the northwestern part of the state. It does not have any lettered spur routes. SH-14 was part of Oklahoma's original highway system, as designated on August 24, 1924, and ran from Frederick in southwestern Oklahoma to the Kansas state line. In the late 1930s, however, new U.S. routes were introduced to Oklahoma; U.S. Highway 281 (US-281) and US-183 overtook most of SH-14's route, reducing it to its present-day extent. Route description SH-14 begins at U.S. Highway 281 and SH-45 in Waynoka. From this point, the highway heads west for a few blocks on the north edge of Waynoka. It then turns north and, after curving slightly to the east, follows a due north course to US-64 east of Cora. Signage present along the road indicates that SH-14 ends at US-64. However, both the Oklahoma state highway map and ODOT's internal control section maps show SH-14 turning east at this intersection. SH-14 then overlaps US-64, unsigned, into Alva, the county seat. The route continues through Alva, where US-64 and unsigned SH-14 overlap US-281. On the east side of the town, US-281 splits off to the north; this intersection is the end of SH-14. History State Highway 14 has its roots in the original 1924 state highway system. SH-14, as designated on August 24, 1924, was nearly a border-to-border route. It began at SH-5 east of Frederick and proceeded north to Manitou. It then intersected SH-7 in Snyder and ran through Mountain Park shortly thereafter. The route then zig-zagged to the northwest towards Roosevelt. It then ran due north to the Hobart area, beginning a concurrency with SH-9 east of that town. After SH-9 split off to the east, SH-14 entered Washita County, where it intersected no other highways, but ran through the towns of Rocky, Cordell (the county seat), and Bessie. Just after crossing into Custer County, the highway had a concurrency with SH-3; the two routes split up in Clinton. SH-14 continued on a due north course through Arapaho, Putnam, and Taloga. In Seiling, SH-14 turned west, overlapping SH-13 through Cestos to a point just east of Vici, where SH-14 split away from SH-13. SH-14 then passed through Sharon en route to Woodward. It concurred with SH-15 to Tangier, then split off
