1963 Map of Clifford
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor serves as a central artery through this rural landscape on the border of Tuscola and Lapeer Counties. Small village hubs like Silverwood and Clifford anchor the region, which is defined by an extensive network of water management features such as the Negus Drain and Stiver Drain. The 1963 survey reveals a pattern of agricultural land development supported by these man-made drainage systems, alongside natural water bodies like Shay Lake and Becroft Lake. Local educational and religious heritage is well-documented through scattered rural landmarks, including the Maple Grove Sch, Eagle Sch, and the St Patricks Cem. This era shows a transition where the old rural school system remained visible on the landscape even as modern roads like Marlette Road and Mayville Road improved connectivity between the townships of Koylton, Dayton, and Burlington.
