2022 Map of Clara

About this map

The Red River forms the northern boundary of this landscape in Wichita County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages flowing through agricultural lands. The local history of the Clara area is centered around the Clara Cem and several family-named landmarks such as Prairie Cottage Rd and Michna Rd. The map illustrates a rural infrastructure of farm-to-market roads, including FM 1813 and FM 2345, which link the various homesteads and holdings. Water management is a significant feature of the region, anchored by the North Fork Buffalo Creek Reservoir in the southwest corner and Reilly Lake further east. Smaller drainages like Wildhorse Cr, Tenth Cavalry Cr, and Gilbert Cr cut through the plains, shaping the road grid and site locations for historical institutions like the one referenced by Wyeth School Rd.
