FM 1459 begins at a blinking light, at the intersection of FM 524 in the heart of Sweeny.[2] Traveling along Second Street, the highway makes two 90 degree curves: one to the northwest, passing Sweeny Community Hospital, then to the northeast, leaving town in a northerly direction. It crosses FM 522 and then SH 35 to the southwest of West Columbia.[3] FM 1459 turns to the northwest, passing small communities such as Camp Karankawa alongside the San Bernard River, to its northern end at FM 1301 near Danciger.[1][4]
FM 1459 was designated on July 22, 1949, from SH 35 to FM 524 in Sweeny. The northern extension from SH 35 to FM 1301 occurred on June 1, 1965.[1]
The entire route is in Brazoria County.
