SH 16 begins at an intersection with US 281 between Windthorst and Antelope in North Texas, and begins it journey to the south. It reaches an intersection with US 380 in the town of Graham. It continues to the southeast, wrapping around the northern and eastern sides of Possum Kingdom Lake. Its next intersection is with I-20 south of the town of Strawn. It continues south through farm and ranchland in Central Texas, passing through the cities of Comanche and Llano. The route veers to the southeast as it reaches the Texas Hill Country, passing through Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and Bandera. The routes enters San Antonio from the northwest, and goes around the west side of the city concurrent with Interstate 410. The route continues to the south through San Antonios far south side and then through south Texas ranchlands, finally reaching its final terminus at US 83 in Zapata, almost 542 miles from its starting point. Previous routes[edit] Historic SH 16 SH 16 was one of the original twenty six state highways proposed in 1917, overlaid on top of the Fort Worth-Oklahoma Highway. From 1917 the routing mostly followed present day Interstate 35W from Fort Worth to Denton. It continued on, routed along present day Interstate 35 from Fort Worth through to Oklahoma. By 1919, the route was cancelled. It was then reassigned to the future route of U.S. Highway 181 (which was routed over it in 1926) from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. It was reassigned by 1933 to a new section between Santa Anna and Brady over previous SH 4 and was rerouted over SH 51 from Crowell to Sagerton, and was being extended northward to the Oklahoma State line via Quanah. By 1936, SH 16 was extended north over part of SH 81 to Kerrville. By 1939, the section from Brady to Santa Anna was promptly reassigned to U.S. Highway 183. SH 16 extended north to north of Graham, terminating near Buena Vista south of San Antonio, replacing SH 81. In 1965 the road was significantly extended via its current routing to Zapata, replacing State Highway 346 from San Antonio to Jourdanton, and was rerouted over Interstate 410 in San Antonio.[3] Junction list[edit] County Location Junction Notes Zapata Zapata US 83 / FM 496 south – Laredo, Roma, Falcon Lake Jim Hogg FM 649 north – Mirando City South end of FM 649 overlap FM 649 south – Guerra North end of FM 649 overlap FM 3073 west Hebbronville SH 285 east – Falfurrias SH 359 east – Realitos South end of SH 359 overlap SH 359 west – Bruni, Laredo North end of SH 359 overlap Duval FM 2295 east – Benavides SH 339 south – Benavides Freer US 59 / SH 44 – Laredo, Encinal, George West, San Diego FM 2359 east McMullen FM 624 – Orange Grove, Cotulla Tilden SH 72 east – Three Rivers South end of SH 72 overlap SH 72 west – Fowlerton North end of SH 72 overlap Atascosa FM 140 – Pearsall, Christine Jourdanton SH 97 – Charlotte, Pleasanton Spur 162 west SH 173 north – Devine FM 3350 east – Pleasanton Poteet Loop 282 north – Poteet Loop 282 south / FM 476 east – Poteet South end of FM 476 overlap FM 476 west North end of FM 476 overlap Bexar Loop 1604 (Rockport Road) Interchange Spur 66 east (Lone Star Pass) San Antonio I-410 east (Connally Loop) / Spur 422 north (Poteet-Jourdanton Freeway) South end of I-410 overlap Exit 51;
