About this map

Tipler stands as a small rail and timber outpost within the sprawling Nicolet National Forest during the early 1970s. The settlement's connection to the outside world is defined by the Chicago and North Western railroad line, which cuts through the dense lake country of the Wisconsin-Michigan border. This area is a complex network of glacial water bodies, including Stevens Lake, Long Lake, and Reisner Lake, interspersed with marshes and small creeks like Allen Creek and Huff Creek.

Social and industrial life is marked by local landmarks such as the Maple Grove Ch and Martin Cem, while the economy is hinted at by several Gravel Pits and the Mainline road system. The landscape is bounded by the Brule River to the north and the Pine River to the south, creating a distinct corridor for recreation and resource extraction, evidenced by the Stevens Lake Campground and the Boat Ramp providing access to the region's abundant waterways.
