1968 Map of Clifton

About this map

Oxford Ridge dominates the center of this landscape, creating a high-elevation divide within the Caribou National Forest. Along the eastern slopes, the settlement of Clifton serves as a small agricultural and residential hub, characterized by an Aqueduct and its proximity to the marshes of Oxford and Slough. This 1960s survey, with early 1980s updates, details the complex system of mountain drainages such as Weston Creek and Michael Creek that descend from peaks like Weston Peak and Old Baldy Peak. The map highlights the economic and natural resource history of Franklin and Oneida counties, including a Mine in Mine Hollow and a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary. Steep terrain is navigated by a network of Trails and Jeep Trails, linking high-mountain locations like Clifton Basin and Davis Basin to the lower valley floor and its distinctive Alkali Flat.
