Farm to Market Road 585 (FM 585) is a farm to market road located in Brown and Coleman counties in west central Texas.[1]
Route description
FM 585 begins at an intersection with US 67 / US 84 approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 km) west of Bangs.[2] The roadway travels to the north through unincorporated Brown County, intersecting FM 2492 west of Thrifty and FM 1850 west of Grosvenor.[3] FM 585 then curves to the west and enters Coleman County before reaching its terminus at SH 206 near the community of Echo between Coleman and Burkett.[1]
History
FM 585 was designated in 1945. The highway originally ran from its junction with US 84 northward approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) to the road connecting the communities of Thrifty and Fry (present-day FM 2492). In 1954, the roadway was extended north to the intersection with FM 1850. The route reached its current length in 1962 when it was extended northward and westward to connect with SH 206, replacing FM 2560 from the Brown County Line to SH 206.[1]
