[edit] Route description
SH-47 begins at the Texas state line, where FM 2124 becomes SH-47 upon entering Oklahoma, in the Black Kettle National Grassland. Four miles later, SH-30 joins the highway for a three-mile concurrency just south of Reydon. Just outside the community of Rankin, SH-30 turns to the south, and SH-47 continues off to the east.
A few miles west of Cheyenne, SH-47A branches off in a loop to the north, rejoining Highway 47 in a couple of miles. At Cheyenne, SH-47 joins US-283 for a 12-mile concurrency to the north, parting ways at Roll, where SH-47 resumes its travel to the east.
From Roll, SH-47 travels 21 miles to a junction with SH-34 just south of Leedey, then it's another 22 miles to US-183, where SH-47 turns to the south for a five-mile concurrency. After leaving US-183, SH-47 travels another 13 miles to the east to its terminus at SH-33 in Thomas.
[edit] Loop Route
SH-47A is a loop route that connects to SH-47 at both ends, a few miles west of Cheyenne. Its purpose is to provide access to the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site.
