2017 Map of Clifford

About this map

Clifford sits at the intersection of agricultural transport routes on the boundary between Tuscola and Lapeer Counties. This region is defined by a dense network of engineered waterways, including McKillop Drain, Slattery Drain, and Galbraith Drain, which channel water through the township to support the surrounding farmland. To the west, the settlement of Silverwood marks the edge of this rural landscape, while the northern sections are dotted with natural features like Shay Lake and Becraft Lake. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, notably Saint Patricks Cem, West Burlington Cem, and North Branch-Burlington Cem. The terrain is crisscrossed by established roads such as Mayville Rd and Marlette Rd, reflecting the grid-based development typical of Michigan's Thumb region.
