2018 Map of Clifton

About this map

The San Francisco River cuts through this copper-rich landscape, where the communities of Morenci, Stargo, and Clifton sit amidst complex industrial and natural terrain. The map details the residential and operational layout of the mining region, showing Plantsite and East Plantsite alongside industrial landmarks like Smelter Hill. Numerous small gulches and canyons, such as Stargo Gulch and Morenci Gulch, reveal a landscape heavily altered by resource extraction and specialized infrastructure. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Metcalf Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Clifton Cem. To the east, the geography transitions into the protected slopes of the Apache National Forest, marked by landmarks like Mulligan Peak and Clifton Hot Springs. The extensive road network, from the Coronado Trl to local residential streets like Dandelion Dr, provides a clear view of the area's development.
