2021 Map of Clifton City

About this map

Clifton City sits at the junction of the Lamine River and the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas rail corridor, now preserved as the Katy Trl. This survey of the Pettis and Cooper County line reveals a landscape of winding watercourses and deeply-rooted rural settlements. The drainage network, including Muddy Creek, Landon Br, and Johnson Br, dictates the placement of early road networks like Swinging Bridge Dr and Bugger Town Rd. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across these hills, including Saint Josephs Cem, Sowers Cem, and Lee Cem. The inclusion of Fortunes Lake and various low-water crossings reflects the agricultural and recreational character of this river-valley region, where traditional township lines and state highways like State Hwy BB still define the local geography.
