2020 Map of Clifton

About this map

Antelope Lakes dominate the central landscape of this Pierce County region, defining a prairie pothole environment characterized by numerous small, scattered wetlands and larger ephemeral water bodies. The settlement of Clifton is located in the southeastern portion of the map, situated near the intersection of 33rd St NE and 26th Ave NE. This area illustrates the classic North Dakota section-line road grid, with routes like 40th St NE and 22nd Ave NE segmenting the agricultural terrain into precise squares. To the northeast, Lesmeister Lake provides another significant hydrological feature in a territory largely shaped by glacial action. The landscape is primarily rural, with the Public Land Survey System divisions of t152n r74w and t151n r73w providing the underlying organizational structure for the farmsteads and fields that span the quadrangle.
