1952 Map of Tipton
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Tipton serves as a significant regional hub along the Missouri Pacific railroad during the early 1950s, anchoring a landscape where three counties meet. The map reveals a transition in rural education, marking several local schoolhouses as recently out of service, including Glendale Sch, Gilroy Sch, and Baxter Sch. North of the tracks in Tipton, the State Industrial Home for Girls occupies a prominent campus, reflecting the era's approach to social institutions. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Smiley Creek and Willow Fork feed into larger systems like Moniteau Creek. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including the Masonic Cem, Odd Fellows Cem, and the family-named Gallagher Cem, documenting the long-standing communities of the Missouri prairie.
