About this map

The Red River defines the southwestern boundary of this Tillman County landscape, where the shifting waters separate Oklahoma from Texas. The interior is characterized by a grid of agricultural sections and early energy development, marked by numerous wells and several oil fields that were active during the late 1950s. The regional economy is tied together by the Missouri Kansas Texas and St Louis San Francisco railroads, which converge at Frederick, the area’s primary hub.

Local life is recorded through small rural landmarks like Middick Store and country schools such as Weaver Sch. Faith and family history are grounded in locations like Bethel Ch, Tesca Ch, and the Tipton Cem north of Tipton. Aviation interest is represented by the Frederick Airfield and a northern airstrip, while several small lakes, including White Lake and Redeker Lake, dot the plains between the larger settlements.
