Route description

RM 474 begins in central Boerne at US 87. The route travels east through Boerne along Blanco St. before curving north along Esser Rd. near Boerne High School.[2] After leaving Boerne, the route travels generally toward the north-northeast. After crossing the Guadalupe River, RM 474 ends at an intersection with RM 473 between Sisterdale and Kendalia.[1][3]
