About this map

Tipton serves as the central hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, situated on the border of Osborne and Mitchell Counties. The town's grid is clearly defined by local streets such as Main St, Gambrinus, and Arnoldy, representing a compact agricultural community. To the south of the settlement, Saint Boniface Cem and the Ringneck Ranch Airport provide specific points of interest for local history and aviation researchers.

The southern portion of the map is defined by the prominent elevation of the Blue Hills and Williams Butte, overlooking a network of drainages including Carr Creek, Bacon Creek, and Salt Creek. This topography illustrates the transition from the rolling plains into the dissected uplands of the region. Local landmarks like Lutheran Cem in the northwest corner and the intersection of Highway 181 offer additional reference points for genealogists tracking family plots and homestead locations in these townships.
