2021 Map of Tipton Ford

About this map

Shoal Creek meanders across the northern portion of this Newton County landscape, where the settlements of Tipton Ford and Spurgeon anchor a region defined by its creek valleys and rural crossroads. The topography is marked by several small tributaries including Cedar Cr, Carver Br, and Baynham Br, which carve through the terrain north of the expanding outskirts of Neosho. This 2021 survey reveals a dense network of family and local history markers, particularly through its numerous burial grounds such as Thrasher Cem, King Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The transportation corridor is dominated by Gateway Dr, which links the smaller communities of Fredville and Tipton Ford to the larger regional hub in the south, illustrating the modern connectivity of these historically distinct rural hamlets.
