About this map

Tipler serves as a small gateway to the dense woodlands of the Nicolet National Forest during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Brule River forming the northern border between Wisconsin and Michigan, while the Popple River and Pine River wind through the southern sections. This area was a hub for outdoor recreation and local heritage, evidenced by the Stevens Lake Campground and the Martin Cem.

The presence of the Chicago and North Western railroad line indicates the historical importance of the timber and transport industries in Forest County. Numerous kettle lakes such as Stevens Lake, Wapoose Lake, and Lilypad Lake dot the terrain, some containing Gravel Pits nearby. Local faith and community life are anchored by the Maple Grove Ch, situated just north of the main settlement at Tipler.
