[edit] Route description
FM 3043 begins at US 81 in Bowie.[2] The route runs to the northeast along Pelham Street, past Pelham Park, before turning to the southeast along East Nelson Street. It leaves Bowie and enters the farming areas east of the city along Brushy Creek.[3] State maintenance and the FM 3043 designation end near the intersection of Orchard and Lama Roads.[1]
[edit] History
FM 3043 was designated along its current route in 1966. The designation file notes it as running from US 287 (then concurrent with US 81) in Bowie to its current southern terminus.[1] As US 287 was moved to a freeway west of the city in 1980, FM 3043 no longer intersects that route.[4]
[edit] Major intersections
The entire route is in Montague County.
