1969 Map of Clairemont East

About this map

Clairemont anchors this West Texas landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and petroleum operations. The map documents the extensive infrastructure of the Clairemont Oil Field and Clairemont East Oil Field, where numerous wells and tanks are interspersed among the drainages of the Salt Fork Brazos River and Little Salt Fork Brazos River. The terrain is defined by rugged draws like Seven Section Draw and prominent landmarks such as Butte Knob. Cultural features like the County Fairground and Clairemont Cem provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the O Bar O Ranch and its associated Landing Field illustrate the large-scale landholdings typical of the era. The drainage network, including Dry Duck Creek and Butte Creek, dictates the placement of the sparse road network in this cattle and oil country.
