Route description

A two-lane road along its full course, FM 2764 starts at a stop sign on US 90A at a distance 1.8 miles (2.9 km) northwest of Lissie. From this point, the highway crosses the Union Pacific Railroad and heads northeast along the Colorado-Wharton county line. In fact, the gravel road that goes southwest from the starting point is called County Line Road. FM 2764 runs 4.4 miles (7.1 km) through croplands until it crosses a disused railroad and ends at FM 1093. A short distance before its end, FM 2764 curves to the north into Colorado County and meets FM 1093 at a stop sign in the small community of Chesterville.[2]
