Farm to Market Road 2064

Farm to Market Road 2064, or FM 2064, in eastern Texas (USA), runs about 8.99 miles (14.47 km) from an intersection with TX 135 in Tecula, east, then north to another intersection with TX 135 south of Troup.

FM 2064 has no local street names. Rural for all its length, the landscape along the road includes rolling hills of alternating open pastures and trees. The entire road has 2 lanes and no shoulders. All of FM 2064 is in north-northeast Cherokee County.

The road was commissioned in 1952, though it is unclear as to when FM 2064 was completed. The road serves no towns other than a small community, Tecula, at its southern terminus. The road connects the rural area to TX 135, which leads southwest to Jacksonville) and northeast to Troup; FM 2064 intersects FM 2750 about halfway along its path, otherwise there are only intersections with local county roads.

Impact from future lake

Plans have been in the works for many years for a new lake, Lake Columbia^[2], to be built along Mud Creek, which FM 2064 crosses. In advance of construction, a new Minute Order was commissioned in 2005, to reduce the mileage of FM 2064 to 5.6 miles (9.0 km). This change will affect the road by splitting it in two, and its intersections with FM 2750, as well as the current southern terminus at TX 135 in Tecula, neither of which will connect to FM 2064 after the lake is completed. A new Farm to Market Road designation, FM 3540, will be placed on the portion of FM 2064 that connects to Tecula after Lake Columbia construction commences and is completed. As of yet, construction on the lake has not commenced, so signage and length of FM 2064 has not yet changed to reflect the 2005 Order^[1].

Major intersections

The route is in north-northeast Cherokee County, between Jacksonville and Troup.
