2011 Map of Clifford

About this map

Clifford and Silverwood anchor this part of Lapeer County, where a rigid grid of rural roads connects scattered agricultural lands and small-town centers. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the map, and small water bodies such as Shay Lake and Becroft Lake. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the map identifies essential community landmarks including the Clifford Post Office and Silverwood Post Office. These hubs are complemented by several burial grounds, such as Saint Patricks Cemetery and the West Burlington Cemetery near the village of Silverwood, while the North Branch-Burlington Cemetery marks the southern border. The transition from town to farm is clear through the numerous named roads, from Mayville Rd to Lake Pleasant Rd, showing a settled rural environment where traditional infrastructure remains central to the local geography.
