About this map

The N Bosque River and its varied tributaries, including Round Hole Br and Green Cr, shape the landscape of this rural Erath and Hamilton County borderland. The small community of Clairette sits at the western edge of the sheet, while the settlement of Duffau anchors the northeast. This area of Texas is defined by a dense network of country roads, such as Farm-To-Market Road 240 and FM 2481, which connect the scattered agricultural homesteads and ranches.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Millerville Cem and Duffau Cem, which serve as landmarks for genealogists tracing pioneer families of the region. The inclusion of the Ray Smith Farm Airport highlights the intersection of traditional ranching and modern aviation in this countryside. The drainage patterns of Little Duffau Cr and Grubbs Br provide insight into the natural irrigation and topography that supported generations of local land use.
