2018 Map of Clifton

About this map

Clifton and Ashkum serve as central nodes in this section of Iroquois County, where the grid of rural section roads meets the modern infrastructure of Interstate 57. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Langan Creek and Prairie Cr, which cut diagonally across the agricultural parcels. To the north, the settlement of Chebanse sits on the boundary, accompanied by the Saint Mary & Joseph Cem. The map illustrates the transition from traditional local routes like N Old US 45 to the high-speed transit corridor that now bisects the region. Researchers can trace the layout of small-town residential streets in Clifton, such as W Lincoln Ave and S Chestnut St, against the surrounding expanse of farmland partitioned by long-standing county roads.
