1986 Map of Clifton

About this map

Clifton and Ashkum are the primary settlements in this Iroquois County landscape, positioned along the central transportation corridor. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of Langan Creek and its southern counterpart, Prairie Creek. The map shows a transition from rural agricultural land to organized village grids, notably including a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower near the village of Clifton. Local genealogists and researchers can identify specific land use through labels such as the Cem located near the town centers and the Sub Sta that indicates the infrastructure developments of the late 20th century. The inclusion of the Sewage Disposal Pond reflects the mid-1980s municipal planning of these Iroquois County communities.
