2023 Map of Portage

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from Central Cem and Indian Fields Cem in the north to the more secluded Gourdneck Cem and Sand Lake Cem further south. The hydrography is particularly complex, featuring a string of major water bodies including West Lake, Austin Lake, and Gourdneck Lake, which are interconnected by waterways like Gourdneck Creek and the Portage Creek. These lakes provided the early centers for seasonal settlements like Ramona Park before becoming integrated into the modern suburban fabric.
