2017 Map of Tipton

About this map

The boundary between Washtenaw and Lenawee Counties divides this landscape of glacial lakes and rural settlements. The unincorporated community of Tipton serves as a central point, situated near several significant family and community burial grounds including Franklin Cem and Wisner Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies such as Evans Lake, Iron Mill Pond, and Half Moon Lake, which are interconnected by systems like Iron Cr and Evans Cr. This network of lakes suggests a long history of seasonal recreation and local water management, evidenced by the presence of the Bruno Drain and Lamkin Drain. The mapping of Reynolds Corners Cem and Mills Cem offers specific points of interest for those tracing local lineages along the historic corridor of W Michigan Ave.
