Clifton is in south-central Lincoln County, northwest of present-day Meeker.It had one of the earliest post offices established in Lincoln Co., but when the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad went through Clifton was bypassed.
Meeker was platted along the railroad and, and first, was served by the Clifton Post Office.By 1903 Meeker had outgrown Clifton so a new office was established there and the Clifton office was discontinued.
I believe that Clifton is still shown on the USGS Topographical map for that area.You can either use their search engine to find it or go straight to the Meeker quadrangle.The URL is:
