About this map

The settlement of Clifton serves as the focal point for this Franklin County landscape, situated where the Bear River Valley floor meets the rising slopes of the Cache National Forest. During this era, the community's agricultural foundations are evidenced by the Twin Lakes Canal West Lateral, a critical piece of water infrastructure that traces the edge of the valley. To the west, the topography rises sharply toward the Oxford Ridge and prominent summits like Buck Peak and Weston Peak.

Several family-named landmarks such as Ruben Hollow and the Mine Hollow Steep Canyon suggest early land use and resource extraction. The area's hydrology is defined by numerous drainage systems including Clifton Creek and Second Creek, which flow from high basins toward the valley floor. Transportation is anchored by the N Westside Hwy and N Main Hwy, providing historical context for the movement of people and goods through this Idaho corridor.
