2013 Map of Clifton

About this map

Clifton and Dayton occupy the lower elevations along the eastern edge of this 2013 survey, where the valley floor meets the dramatic rise of the Caribou National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the irrigated agricultural lands of the Clifton Basin to the high summits of Oxford Ridge, where peaks like Buck Peak and Weston Peak overlook the surrounding territory. The intricate drainage network of the Bear River range is clearly visible, with Clifton Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Weston Creek descending from the highlands to feed the valley's water systems, including the Twin Lakes Canal W Lateral. Traces of earlier activity appear in place names like Mine Hollow and Steep Canyon, while Cemetery Rd marks a point of local genealogical interest on the outskirts of Clifton.
