About this map

Tipton anchors the southern edge of this West Oklahoma landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of the North Fork Red River. The river forms a natural boundary between Jackson and Tillman counties, its meandering path creating a complex network of wetlands and shifting sandbars. To the north, the small settlements of Headrick and Humphreys serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmstead sections, connected by a dense network of county roads such as Co Rd E 165 and N2150 Rd.

Water management is the defining characteristic of the terrain, with Stinking Creek and Otter Creek draining the plains toward the main river channel. The map reveals the precise layout of Tipton's street plan, including N Broadway Ave and E Baseline Rd, providing a clear record of the community's footprint in the early 21st century. The intersection of these drainage systems and the rigid section-line road network illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's hydrology and its rural development.
