1918 Map of Clara

About this map

The Red River defines the northern boundary of this North Texas landscape, marking the border between Wichita County and Oklahoma's Tillman County during the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a rural society structured around local education and transit, with the small settlements of Clara and Stringtown serving as central points. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including Wildhorse Creek, Gilbert Creek, and Lost Creek, which influenced the placement of homesteads and essential roads. Local education was decentralized, as evidenced by the distribution of the Fairview School, Wyeth School, and Lost Creek School. Connectivity across the plains was maintained via the Electra Road and Burkburnett Road, which connected these agricultural communities to larger nearby market towns during a period of significant regional growth.
