2013 Map of Clifton

About this map

Clifton serves as the focal point along the eastern shore of Kentucky Lake, where the Tennessee River broadens into a significant waterway. This 2013 survey documents a landscape defined by the winding course of the river and the numerous landings that dot its banks, including Lego Landing, Kittrell Landing, and Peters Landing. The map illustrates the transition from the riverfront to the interior hills, marked by named ridges such as Kittrell Ridge and New Era Ridge. To the south, Carrollville Hill and the Hassell Field Airport overlook the bend in the river near Clifton Ferry. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of creeks and hollows, including Whiteoak Cr and Beech Cr, which provide a detailed view of the local drainage patterns and the rural road network that follows these natural features through the Tennessee backcountry.
