2014 Map of Clifton City

About this map

Clifton City sits at a geographic crossroads in the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the Lamine River and Muddy Creek converge. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of these waterways, which create a complex network of ridges and valleys across the Pettis and Cooper county line. Local family history and settlement patterns are clearly marked by a high concentration of burial sites, including Sowers Cemetery, Lamine Cemetery, Irving Cemetery, Saint Josephs Cemetery, and Lee Cemetery. The road network, featuring names like Bugger Town Rd, Swinging Bridge Dr, and Farmers City Rd, suggests a long history of rural transit between local homesteads and river crossings. Small water features such as Fortunes Lake and numerous branches like Landon Br and Johnson Br drain the uplands, illustrating the hydrologic character of this central Missouri region.
