Farm to Market Road 177, or FM 177, in the eastern part of Texas (USA), runs about 4.98 miles (8.01 km) from an intersection with US 69 in Mount Selman east to Mixon at an intersection with SH 135. The road is located in far north-central Cherokee County.

Route description

FM 177 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 177 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 177 has 2 lanes and no shoulders. The road serves just the 2 towns of Mount Selman and Mixon. The western terminus intersection connects to US 69 which goes south to Jacksonville and north to Tyler; while the eastern terminus intersection connects to TX 135 which goes northeast to Troup, and south to Jacksonville. FM 177 has intersections at county roads, besides its intersections with FM 2493 west of Mixon and FM 3052 in Mixon, and its termini at US 69 in Mount Selman and at TX 135 in Mixon.[1][2][3]

History

A previous commissioning of FM 177 came on June 11, 1945 by Minute Order for a 3 miles (4.8 km) stretch of road south of Lamesa from SH 137 to Patricia. This previous use of FM 177 was cancelled on April 30, 1947 (became a portion of SH 349). The Minute Order for the current location of FM 177 came on May 23, 1951. It is unclear exactly when any part of FM 177 was built.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Cherokee County.

gollark: Oh dear.

gollark: Anyway, your idea of making longer messages work *was* somewhat good, so I did that.

gollark: This is not in fact always the case.

gollark: Also, it assumes there will always be a reference which always has a cached message.

gollark: Correction: it *does* populate replyee in the Discord-side code but I think your IRC-side code is not updated to acknowledge it.
