59 and 259 in east tx and se oklahoma
What is 259 out of Longview Tx to 59 to Fort Smith Ar like. Looks good in Texas and then map looks a little curvy in Oklahoma. Don't mind two lane but not to many hills and curves.

Well, at least we have a lot of experience on this route! We live right on US 259. Immediately upon entering Oklahoma (in the Red River Valley) the road becomes a bit more narrow and there are some 90 degree turns (not like mountain curves, just a change of direction.) At Idabell, OK it becomes more like an average US highway. By the way, I do not consider that area around Idabell to be a problem, it's just a bit different.
As you get up into the Ouchita Mountains along the Arkansas border, there is a section of curving and climbing, but I think it is a very pleasant drive. You will pass Beaver's Bend State Park at Broken Bow, OK and be very near to Queen Wilhemea State Park in Arkansas.
US 259 ends at rejoining US 59 near Heavner, OK.
This is our primary route north and back, so if I can help further, please let me know.
