Route description

The southern terminus of FM 2185 is at SH 54 in Van Horn. FM 2118 follows E. 9th St. east out of Van Horn towards Culberson County Airport. Approximately 15 miles east of Van Horn, FM 2185 turns northward. The highway ends at Smileys Rd. in unincorporated Culberson County.[1][2][3][4]

History

FM 2185 was established in 1953 as a 15.0-mile road from its current southern terminus at SH 54 in Van Horn, northeastward to Wild Horse Farming District.[1] In 1968, the highway was extended approximately 11.5 miles northeastward. It was extended again later that year all the way to RM 652, a total of approximately 81.1 miles. In 1991, FM 2185 was split into two. The central section (from 12.7 miles south of RM 652 to 6.2 miles south of RM 652) was removed from the state highway system and returned to the county for maintenance. In 2006, at the district's request, the northern section of FM 2185 was designated as FM 3541, and FM 2185 reached its current routing.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Culberson County.
