1964 Map of Tipton SE

About this map

The confluence of the Red River and the North Fork Red River defines the landscape of this southwestern Oklahoma corner, where the borders of Jackson and Tillman counties meet. This 1964 survey reveals a rural landscape organized by the Base Line and a network of section-line roads, anchored by small community nodes. In the north, the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts across the territory near the Pleasant Valley Ch and the adjacent Pleasant Valley Community Hall. This area, likely dependent on groundwater as evidenced by numerous mapped wells, also features a Pleasant Valley Landing Strip. To the south, the Center View Cem and Mt Gillian Ch provide essential touchstones for local family history, while the winding course of Otter Creek shapes the eastern boundary of the Hunter township.
