1951 Map of Clifton

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Clifton stands as a tiny rail-side settlement along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, marking a transition between the open prairie and the high timber of the Black Hills National Forest. The presence of the Clifton School (Aban'd) suggests the decline of a once-active rural community center by the early 1950s. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Wildcat Peak and the Elk Mountains Lookout Tower, a landscape defined by deep drainages like Clifton Canyon and Rock Canyon.
