About this map

Tigerton serves as the primary hub in this pocket of the Wisconsin northwoods, situated along the South Branch Embarrass River. The landscape reveals a transition from the village center, marked by Tigerton Pond and a local Trailer Park, into the surrounding rural townships of Germania, Fairbanks, and Wyoming. Industrial activity is evident through the numerous Gravel Pit sites scattered across the terrain and the tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroad that cut through the countryside.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family land via a network of named rural roads, including Laars Road, Sabrowsky Road, and Kastner Road. The presence of the Tigerton Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower on the high ground of Germania emphasizes the area's timber management and communication infrastructure. Further south, the map documents the smaller settlement of Split Rock and the meandering path of the Pigeon River as it crosses the Shawano Co Waupaca Co line.
