2011 Map of Clifton City

About this map

Clifton City and the surrounding Cooper County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Lamine River, which carves through the landscape alongside numerous tributaries like Muddy Creek and Shaver Creek. This 2011 survey documents a rural Missouri geography characterized by a network of local roads such as Swinging Bridge Rd and Bugger Town Rd, connecting small settlements like Bush and Lookout. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cemetery, Sowers Cemetery, Lamine Cemetery, Irving Cemetery, and Lee Cemetery, providing essential coordinates for genealogical research. The presence of Fortunes Lake and various named branches, such as Pipkin Branch and Johnson Branch, highlights the importance of the local watershed to the region's agricultural and rural layout.
