2016 Map of Clifford

About this map

Clifford sits at a strategic junction in Lincoln County where the winding path of Big Sandy Creek meets a network of local transit corridors. This prairie landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Coon Cr and Sevenmile Cr, which carve subtle topography through the high plains. The settlement itself is small, marked by its proximity to the rural cemetery at Clifford Cem, a vital site for local genealogical research. The layout of the land is strictly governed by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t11s r53w and t12s r52w forming the rectilinear grid that dictates the placement of county roads. Modern infrastructure, including CO Hwy 63 and CO Rd 38, follows these section lines, illustrating how twentieth-century transportation patterns were built directly upon the nineteenth-century survey foundations.
