About this map

Clifton and the surrounding farmland of Greene and Clark counties are defined here by the winding course of the Little Miami River and its major tributaries like North Fork Little Miami River and Massies Creek. The landscape transitions from the aviation activities at the Springfield Municipal Airport in the north to the preserved terrain of John Bryan State Park in the west. This mid-century survey captures a rural network of family-named roads such as Garlough Road and Bradfute Rd, connecting long-standing local landmarks.

Several monuments and institutions appear across the quadrangle, including the Orton Memorial Monument and the Horace Mann Monument, alongside active community spaces like Emery Chapel and the Green Special Sch. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small burial sites like Bethel Cem and McClellan Cem, which sit among active quarries and the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
