1960 Map of Tipton

About this map

Tipton serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, where a dense grid of streets like Adams Street and Harrison Street surrounds the downtown Courthouse. The town's growth is tied to the Norfolk and Western rail lines that intersect the urban center, supporting local institutions like Lincoln Sch and the County Hospital. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural drainage, including the Treaty Ditch and Leavell Ditch, which manage the waters of Cicero Creek and Turkey Creek. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the rural character of Liberty and Cicero townships. Scattered family-named landmarks and historical sites dot the countryside, from the St Joseph Academy and its associated St Joseph Academy Cem to smaller settlements like Mauldentown and Jacksons.
