2019 Map of Tipton

About this map

The settlement of Tipton serves as a central point in this southern Michigan landscape, which straddles the border of Washtenaw and Lenawee counties. The area is defined by a dense cluster of glacial water bodies, including Iron Mill Pond, Whelan Lake, Evans Lake, and Half Moon Lake. These lakes are connected by a network of small waterways like Iron Cr and Evans Cr, suggesting a post-glacial terrain that influenced early land divisions and settlement patterns. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds such as Mills Cem, Franklin Cem, and Reynolds Corners Cem, which provide tangible links for genealogists to the early families of the region.
