Source-derived summary

Farm to Market Roads in Texas are owned and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

FM 1600

Farm to Market Road 1600 (FM 1600) is located in Milam County.

Farm to Market Road 1601 (FM 1601) is located in Ector and Crane counties.

FM 1602

Farm to Market Road 1602 (FM 1602) is located in Hamilton County.

FM 1602 begins at an intersection with SH 36 in Jonesboro. The highway travels in a northwestern direction, intersects SH 22, then has a brief overlap with FM 219 near Fairy. Leaving Fairy, FM 1602 continues to pass by farmland in rural Hamilton County before ending at US 281 just south of Hico.

FM 1602 was designated in 1950, running from US 281 near Hico, southward via Fairy and Lanham to a road intersection 4.7 miles (7.6 km) south of Lenham; this section was originally signed as FM 220, but was changed to FM 1602 to avoid confusion with the nearby SH 220. In 1951, the highway was extended 2.0 miles (3.2 km) southeastward. In 1952, FM 1602 was further extended 5.1 miles (8.2 km) southeastward to SH 36 in Jonesboro, bringing the highway to its current length.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48976595. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1600, 1601, 1602 and 1950.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
