Route description

Highway 327 begins at the northern border of the Ozark National Forest in Wayton. The highway follows a curvaceous path northward through a rural, forested area. The route then turns east toward Parthenon, crossing Fork Shop Creek at the edge of the community. After passing through Parthenon, the highway continues north along the east bank of the Little Buffalo River. It crosses the river, then continues past a cemetery and intersects a paved road near a creek. Now running along the west bank of the river, the route continues north toward Jasper. After reaching Jasper, it runs along its border on the opposite side of the river, entering another section of the Ozark National Forest. The route terminates at Highway 74 north of Jasper; Highway 74 accesses the city via Highway 7. [2] [3]

History

In 1952, a gravel road along the present route of Highway 327 was first marked on state highway maps. [4] The highway was designated between Jasper and Parthenon in 1966, following its current alignment between the communities. [5] In 1979, the designated portion of Highway 327 was paved. [6] The portion of Highway 327 south of Parthenon was designated later and paved in 1995. [7]
