Farm to Market Road 1528 (FM 1528) is a farm-to-market road located in the western and central portions of Delta County in the U.S. state of Texas. The highway is approximately {{convert|11.4|mi}} in length, and travels from FM 64 in the community of Antioch to SH 154 in the county seat of Cooper.
Early roads existed in the place of FM 1528 by 1936, and a short section of highway between SH 27 (now SH 24) and Klondike was designated as Loop 39 in 1939, and FM 1528 was designated in 1949. The route of the highway has been altered since its designation, including rerouting due to the construction of Cooper Lake.
Route description
FM 1528 begins at an intersection with FM 64 in the unincorporated community of Antioch as a two-lane, paved road. The highway proceeds southward, entering rural areas and intersecting several small roads. The road continues, entering the former community of Gough and intersects FM 2068. FM 1528 turns due eastward and continues, exiting the Gough area. The roadway proceeds east, intersecting several county roads and traveling past several small houses. The highway bends southward and travels a short distance before it intersects SH 24. The highway runs concurrently with SH 24 for a short distance before splitting off, proceeding into the community of Klondike. The road turns northeast, after it proceeds through Klondike and intersects FM 2890. The roadway continues northeastward, passing through the Cooper Wildlife Management Area, as well as traveling over a creek leading to Cooper Lake before it reenters rural areas. It continues, passing over another creek before it bends eastward. At the southern edge of Cooper, the route intersects FM 1880. The road bends northward, entering the city of Cooper. The roadway passes several small buildings in the community before reaching its eastern terminus, an intersection with SH 154 and State Highway 24 Business.{{Texas Mapbook|528|access-date=March 25, 2013|link=no}}{{Google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Farm+to+Market+64&daddr=33.3426808,-95.7848353+to:33.3308437,-95.7563146+to:W+Dallas+Ave&hl=en&ll=33.353473,-95.722847&spn=0.172925,0.220757&sll=33.332715,-95.761213&sspn=0.010739,0.013797&geocode=FRVP_QEdZjRK-g%3BFdjE_AEdfXBK-inpxhVYsbVLhjExvXCu1ufrAQ%3BFZuW_AEd5t9K-inZXkd4E7VLhjErwOHDrvEeaw%3BFU8-_QEd8-dL-g&mra=dpe&mrsp=2&sz=16&via=1,2&t=h&z=12 |title=Overview map of Farm to Market Road 1528 |access-date=March 25, 2013}}
History
The first segments of road in the location of what would become FM 1528 existed by the year of 1936.{{cite map |publisher=Texas State Highway Department |cartography=State-Wide Highway Planning Survey |title=General Highway Map of Delta County |year=1936 |edition=1936}} On September 26, 1939, a portion of road traveling from SH 24 to the community of Klondike was designated as Spur Highway 39 (Spur 39).{{TxDOT|SL|39|access-date=March 26, 2013|link=no}} and on September 28, 1949, through the order of the Texas Transportation Board, FM 1528 was designated, and Spur 39 was redesignated as part of the highway. In 1961, the highway had a bituminous surface, a combination of gravel and asphalt.{{cite map |publisher=Texas State Highway Department |cartography=Planning Survey Division |url=https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/maps/images/map5109.jpg |title=General Highway Map, Delta County, Hopkins County, Texas |scale=1 inch=2 miles |date=January 1, 1961 |version=Revised |edition=1961 |access-date=March 26, 2013}} By 1987, the highway had been minorly rerouted and straightened, and the entire length had been paved.{{cite map |publisher=Texas Department of Transportation |cartography=Planning Survey Division |title=General Highway Map, Delta County, Texas |year=1987 |edition=1987}} Between 1986 and 1991, the highway's route was minorly rerouted between Klondike and Cooper, due to the construction of Cooper Lake.{{Cite book |last=Parent |first=Laurence |year=2008 |title=Official Guide to Texas State Parks and Historic Sites |location=Austin |publisher=University of Texas Press |edition=2nd |page=141 |isbn=978-0-292-71726-8}}
