U.S. Highway 59

United States Highway 59 is a north-south United States highway (though it is signed east-west in parts of Texas). A latecomer to the US numbered route system, US 59 is now a border-to-border route. It parallels U.S. Highway 75 for nearly its entire route, never much more than 100 miles away, until it veers southwest in Houston, Texas.
