AR 6 began at an intersection with US 71 in Y City. The highway then met AR 88 in Pencil Bluff and AR 27 in Mt. Ida before heading to Hot Springs. Entering the city, AR 6 met US 70 southwest of downtown and traveled concurrent with it through downtown Hot Springs. After leaving Hot Springs, AR 6 entered Malvern, crossing present Interstate 30, and traveled through downtown with US 67. AR 6 met AR 190/AR 291 in Prattsville before crossing paths with US 167 in Sheridan.The highway ended in what is now Pine Bluff on US 65, now AR 365; the intersection was outside the Pine Bluff city limits at that time. US 270 also ended at that intersection until it was truncated to White [Hall, Arkansas|White Hall] when US 65 was relocated to a freeway, now I-530. The former easternmost section of AR 6, from White Hall to Pine Bluff, is now AR 365 Spur.
