1970 Map of Tigerton

About this map

Tigerton serves as the primary hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the South Branch Embarrass River winds through the village and expands into Tigerton Pond. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on both water and rail, with the Chicago and North Western line cutting through the terrain. Evidence of the local timber and agricultural economy is visible in the network of family-named corridors such as Kastner Road and Meisner Road, while the high point at the Tigerton Lookout Tower provides a structural landmark overlooking the township. To the southeast, the village of Split Rock and the shores of Kersten Lake offer distinct points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the townships of Fairbanks and Wyoming. A preserved Old Railroad Grade and the scenic Tigerton Dells suggest the early industrial and recreational character of the Shawano and Waupaca county line.
