About this map

Tipton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, where the town's street grid meets an extensive network of water management features. The surrounding countryside is defined by its drainage history, with numerous named channels like Ross Ditch, Pole Ditch, and O'Malley Ditch supporting the productive Tipton County farmland. These man-made and natural waterways, including Cicero Creek, converge toward the southern part of the map near Fairview Cemetery.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a high density of rural burial grounds preserved across the townships, such as Mauldentown Cem, Bethsaida Cem, and Goar Cem. Small private airstrips like Tragesser Airport and Baird-Wolford Airport highlight the modern aviation infrastructure integrated into the rural layout, while the small settlement of Jacksons marks a northern point of interest along the established section lines.
