About this map

The N Fork Red River meanders across this Tillman County landscape, defining the character of the terrain between the small settlements of Tipton and Humphreys. In the southern portion of the sheet, the grid-laid streets of Tipton are anchored by W Main St, E Main St, and N Broadway Ave, reflecting the community's organized agricultural and trade foundation. To the northwest, the smaller enclave of Humphreys sits along the section lines near N Broadway.

Evidence of the region's mineral industry is seen at the Boucher Oil Field in the southwest, while the natural drainage of the land is shaped by the winding courses of Otter Cr and Stinking Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent section-line road grid that governs the rural reaches between these points of interest, providing a precise record of late-twentieth-century land use and river morphology.
