1964 Map of Tipton
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The North Fork Red River snakes through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Jackson and Tillman counties. The town of Tipton anchors the southeastern corner, where a grid of streets meets the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line. This rail corridor was vital for the local economy, passing through the smaller settlement of Humphreys and tracing the edge of the Boucher Oil Field. Agricultural infrastructure is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the Ozark Canal in the north and the presence of a local Orphanage near Tipton. The terrain shifts from the river bottomlands to the higher ground of the Hunter and Headrick townships, with Otter Creek and Sinking Creek providing secondary drainage for the surrounding prairie.
