State Highway 148 (SH 148) is a north–south state highway that runs from US 281 in Jacksboro through Henrietta to SH 79 in Petrolia.

Route description

SH 148 is a two-lane improved surface highway that connects the various farming and economic centers of Jack and Clay Counties. Almost all of the route is rural and traffic is rarely a concern anywhere along the route. In Henrietta, the route parallels US 82 approximately 1.4 miles (2.3 km) west and then splits north toward Petrolia.

History

SH 148 was originally designated on March 19, 1930, along a route from the Red River northwest of Petrolia via Henrietta to Antelope as a renumbering of

FM 810 on August 24, 1948. In 1974, Highway 148 became nationally significant due to its appearance in the movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
