Route description

FM 1759 begins at an intersection with FM 103 in Nocona, Montague County, heading west-southwest on two-lane undivided West Pine Street. The road heads through residential areas, curving west and heading between American Legion Park to the north and Nocona Cemetery to the south. The highway turns north and leaves Nocona, becoming an unnamed road that passes through open farmland with occasional trees and homes. FM 1759 curves to the west and comes to an intersection with the southern terminus of FM 3394. From here, the road heads through more rural areas, turning to the north again. FM 1759 reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with White and Briddy Road, where the road continues north as Gray Road.[1][2][3]
