2019 Map of Clairette

About this map

Clairette and Duffau anchor this central Texas landscape where Erath, Bosque, and Hamilton counties meet. The area is defined by the drainage network of the North Bosque River and its numerous tributaries, such as Little Duffau Cr and Green Cr. While the town of Hico borders the southern edge, the map is primarily characterized by a network of rural county roads that connect isolated farmsteads and legacy landmarks. Local history is preserved at the Duffau Cem and the Millerville Cem, which remain as quiet markers of early settlement patterns in this ranching country. The presence of the Ray Smith Farm Airport reflects the modernization of agricultural logistics, while the meandering paths of Round Hole Br and Grubbs Br illustrate the natural topography that has long dictated the placement of roads and property boundaries in this part of the state.
