2010 Map of Porter

About this map

Porter serves as the primary hub of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated along the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The town is anchored by the Porter Post Office, while the surrounding prairie is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of multiple waterways. The Lac qui Parle River cuts across the northwest, while Mud Creek and the North Branch Yellow Medicine River traverse the southern portion near the settlement. For those researching local heritage, the Wergeland Cemetery stands as a significant landmark in the southeastern countryside, marking the intersection of the natural drainage systems and the early agricultural infrastructure. The map illustrates a region where the precise township-and-range road system, including routes like County Hwy-15, must contend with the shifting paths of the prairie creeks and rivers.
