Route description

FM 1000 begins at an intersection with SH 49 in Titus County, heading east on a two-lane undivided road. The road passes through areas of farms and woods with some homes, winding to the east. The highway makes a turn to the north and runs through more agricultural areas with some patches of woodland and residences. FM 1000 crosses a Union Pacific railroad line and enters the community of Cookville, heading northwest past a few homes and businesses, ending at US 67.[1][2][3]

History

FM 1000 was first designated onto its current alignment in 1948. In 2001, the route was proposed to extend west from SH 49 to an intersection with US 271. The proposed extension of FM 1000 was extended further west in 2008 to reflect a planned relocation of US 271. When the proposed extension is built, the length of FM 1000 will increase to 12.01 miles (19.33 km).[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Cookville, Titus County.
