The entrance to this African-American cemetery is located on West Clearview Cemetery Road just off of its intersection with FM 304 five miles south of Bastrop, Texas. The area to the north of the cemetery to the Colorado River is known as Hills Prairie, a fertile river bottom farm area. Somewhere around the time that Clearview Cemetery opened, the original Hills Prairie Cemetery for African-Americans, which is located slightly over a mile away on Hills Prairie Road became disused owing to its small size and precarious location between the road and a draw leading into Cedar Creek. Clearview Cemetery began to be called Hills Prairie Cemetery by many, as it served the same community. Thus there is a secondary sign that says Hills Prairie in small letters inside the larger name of Clearview Cemetery. A number of death certificates and and obituaries for burials at Clearview Cemetery have also given the name as Hills Prairie.
