Farm to Market Road 22 (FM 22) is a 9.070 mi (14.597 km) farm to market road in north-central Cherokee County, Texas.[1]
Contents |
The western terminus of FM 22 is at an intersection with US 69 in Craft. The route travels east through Turney and Gallatin, where it has a brief concurrency with FM 768.[2] FM 22 continues eastward and ends at an intersection with SH 110 south of the community of Ponta.[1][3]
FM 22 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 22 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. The route is a two-lane road without shoulders for its entire length.
FM 22 was originally commissioned in 1942; its length was identical to that of its present-day routing. In 1970, a section west of US 69 at Craft, connecting to FM 347 south of Jacksonville, was added, increasing the length by 1.2 miles (1.9 km). This addition was removed from the state highway system in 1972, and FM 22 returned to its previous length.[1][2] The actual dates of construction of the route are unclear.
The entire route is in Cherokee County.
