2016 Map of Claude

About this map

The town of Claude serves as the focal point of this Armstrong County landscape, where the rectilinear street grid of the settlement transitions sharply into the expansive ranching and farming lands of the Texas Panhandle. Located in the upper corner of the map, the town's layout is defined by historical thoroughfares like Orient St and numbered streets, intersected by the primary rail and highway corridor. To the south and east, the terrain descends into the complex drainage systems of Mulberry Cr, where the flat plains give way to a network of winding draws and elevation changes. This contrast between the ordered townsite and the deep, branching topography of the creek basin illustrates the geographic divide that dictated local development. A extensive network of rural routes, including Hotel Rd and India Rd, provides a framework for understanding land use and property access across these high plains.
