Explore Clifton Hill, Missouri, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Clifton Hill, Missouri. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Missouri or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Clifton Hill.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Clifton Hill emerges from the flat, open expanse of the Missouri landscape where the horizon stretches thin and pale against the sky. It lies 12.2 miles west of Moberly, MO (from Moberly, MO: bearing 276°T), and is situated 32.4 miles north of Boonville. Earth here holds the scent of turned soil and dormant grass, shaped by long, shallow swells that dictate the path of Muncas Creek as it carves a slow, muddy line through the fields. In the quiet hours before dusk, the light loses its intensity, washing over the plains in a muted, brassy hue that makes the distant shadows of trees appear thin and skeletal. While the jagged silhouette of Hog Ridge remains a far-off rumor on the western edge of the world, the immediate terrain belongs to the patient work of agriculture and the stillness of the prairie. A traveler might catch the glint of Wallace Ryals Lake reflecting the clouds from three miles away, a solitary eye of water amidst the vast, cultivated grid of the surrounding terrain.
Clifton Hill carries the weight of a quiet endurance, its foundations built upon the rhythms of rail and harvest that have long defined the regional economy. Generations have moved through these intersecting lines, trading in the yield of the grain elevator and the steady, unadorned labor that keeps a small settlement functioning in the shadow of larger hubs. Life here is measured by the changing color of the crops and the seasonal migration of birds toward the shelter of Salisbury (Pine Ridge Lake), eight miles distant. There is no pretense in the architecture or the pace of the days, only a plain-spoken consistency that persists regardless of the decade. The character of Clifton Hill is found in this refusal to be anything other than what it is: a place where the history is written in the depth of the topsoil and the simple, unbroken silence that settles over the porch light once the evening finally takes hold.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
