Farm to Market Road 1314 (FM 1314) is a state-maintained farm-to-market road in the U.S. state of Texas in Montgomery County. Its northern terminus is at an intersection with State Highway 105 (SH 105) in Conroe. It then travels southeast, ending at U.S. Route 59 (US 59), now cosigned as Interstate 69 (I-69), in Porter. The road extends southward approximately an additional 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to its southern terminus, an intersection with Loop 494. The current highway is the second of two to bear the designation. The first was located in Hale County from July 1949 until it became part of FM 789 in 1953.

History

Previous designation

FM 1314 was designated on July 14, 1949, in Hale County from the Lubbock County line northward to FM 54 at Petersburg and continuing further north to an intersection north of town or a total distance of approximately 11.0 miles (17.7 km). In 1952, it was extended approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from the Hale County line to approximately 1.0 mile (1.6 km) west of Estacado.[1]

Current designation

In 1953, the mileage from the first iteration of FM 1314 was transferred to FM 789 and a new designation was created from SH 105 near Conroe southeastward to US 59 at Porter, a distance of approximately 17.2 miles (27.7 km) in Montgomery County. In 1970, the intersecting highway at its southern terminus was redesignated Loop 494 when the new US 59, now co-signed as IH 69 was built.[1]
