1978 Map of Tipton

About this map

Tipton serves as the central hub of this northern Kansas landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by its agricultural foundations, with the town center featuring localized infrastructure like the Tipton Airfield and dedicated Sewage Disposal Ponds. The surrounding countryside is divided into named townships including Pittsburg, Bloom, and Custer, which are deeply marked by their spiritual and communal history. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including St Boniface Cem just south of town, Lutheran Cem to the northwest, and the more isolated Union Cem. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Carr Creek and Mill Creek, which cut through the high plains toward the Blue Hills region.
