1955 Map of Tigerton

About this map

Tigerton and the winding course of the Embarrass River anchor this mid-century look at central Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by its water and woods, with the Chicago and North Western railway cutting through the northern townships of Germania and Fairbanks. Local life centers around a network of country schools and small settlements, many of which carry the names of Scandinavian and German settlers who established these communities. Notable landmarks like the Tigerton Lookout Tower and the Alban Chapel provide specific points of reference for local historians.
