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.[2][1][3][4]
History
FM 2185 was established on October 28, 1953 as a 15.0-mile road from its current southern terminus at SH 54 in Van Horn, northeastward to Wild Horse Farming District.[2] On July 11, 1968, the highway was extended approximately 11.5 miles northeastward. It was extended again on October 1 of that year all the way to RM 652, a total of approximately 81.1 miles. On April 30, 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. On January 26, 2006, at the district's request, the northern section of FM 2185 was designated as FM 3541, and the section from 42.4 miles northeast of SH 54 to 12.7 miles south of RM 652 was removed from the state highway system and returned to the county for maintenance.[2] On August 27, 2020, the deleted portions of FM 2185 were restored, replacing FM 3541 and returning the road to its 81.1 mile length.[5]
