Arizona State Route 61 as New Mexico State Road 53. Arizona State Route 61 State Route 61, also known as SR 61, is a highway in northern Arizona running generally southwest to northeast, from its southern terminus at U.S. Route 60 east of Show Low to the New Mexico border at Zuni, where it becomes New Mexico State Road 53. Parts of this route, particularly near St. Johns, overlap U.S. Route 180 and U.S. Route 191. The southern terminus of SR 61 is located at a junction with US 60 east of Show Low. From here, the highway heads towards the northeast towards an
Arizona State Route 387 I-10. After the interchange with I-10, the highway intersects SR 187, with SR 387 turning towards the east at the intersection. The highway continues to the east-northeast until it reaches its northern terminus at SR 87. The route was established between 1946 and 1951, from SR 187 to SR 87 just south of Sun Lakes. Between 1958 and 1961, it was cancelled, and became part of SR 93, a proposed extension of US 93. In 1967, SR 387 was designated from SR 93 to SR 87. It extended south over part of SR 93 on December 17, 1984. Arizona State
