Farm to Market Road 1160 (FM 1160) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that remains within Wharton County. The highway starts at State Highway Loop 523 (Loop 523) in Louise, intersects with U.S. Route 59 (Future Interstate 69) outside Louise and continues in a northerly direction for most of its length. Before its end at State Highway 71 (SH 71) near New Taiton, the highway turns directly to the east.
FM 1160 starts at Loop 523 in Louise and heads north. Loop 523 is also called North Street. The road that extends to the southeast across the Union Pacific Railroad is named Wharton Street. After going north for 0.6 miles (1.0 km) through a residential area, FM 1160 crosses US 59 (Future I-69) by an overpass. Access is allowed in all directions between FM 1160 and US 59 (Future I-69) via entrance and exit ramps. North of Louise, FM 1160 turns sharply east for a short distance before continuing north again. Between US 59 (Future I-69) and westbound FM 1300 is a distance of 8.0 miles (12.9 km). For 0.3 miles (0.5 km) FM 1160 and FM 1300 share the right-of-way before coming to a junction where FM 1300 heads to the east. From this junction to the crossroads with FM 2546 at Hahn is 3.2 miles (5.1 km). From Hahn to the end of FM 1160 at SH 71 north of New Taiton is 6.4 miles (10.3 km). In its final stretch, the highway goes north 3.6 miles (5.8 km) before turning sharply east for 2.8 miles (4.5 km). The Raum Rice Dryer is a prominent landmark in the last leg of FM 1160 according to the 1965 USGS Hahn Quadrangle map.
