2017 Map of Clifton City

About this map

The Lamine River and Muddy Creek wind through the borderlands of Cooper and Pettis counties, where the settlement of Clifton City serves as a local anchor. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its rural roots and genealogy, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds including Sowers Cem, Lamine Cem, Irwin Cem, and Saint Josephs Cem. The topographical detail traces the elevation changes around Fortunes Lake and along various tributaries like Landon Br and Johnson Br. Local navigation relies on a network of descriptively named routes, such as Bugger Town Rd, Swinging Bridge Dr, and Bluebird Hollow Rd, which reflect the area's geographic character and social history. The map also identifies section lines and townships, essential for property research and tracing land use patterns in this part of central Missouri.
