About this map

The North Bosque River anchors the geography of this Bosque County map, winding south through the center of Clifton. The river’s importance to the local economy and recreation is visible in features like the Old Mill Dam and the Mermaid Swimming Pool, along with the Olsen Lake Dam located just east of the city center. The landscape transitions from the grid of the city to outlying agricultural and family holdings, such as the Peder Dahl Farm to the southwest and Womack Hall to the northeast.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites preserved here, including the Clifton Cemetery south of town and the Oswald Cemetery located near Clifton Municipal/Eisenhower Field. The surrounding countryside is defined by several waterways, including Meridian Creek and Childress Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Smaller rural markers like the settlement of Bosque and various farm-to-market roads illustrate the early 21st-century infrastructure of this Central Texas region.
