2013 Map of Porter

About this map

Porter serves as a central hub in this section of southwestern Minnesota, situated at the intersection of MN-68 and several regional county highways. The landscape is defined by its hydrography, particularly the winding path of the Lac qui Parle River in the north and the North Br Yellow Medicine River which flows just south of the main settlement. The survey illustrates the rural character of the border between Yellow Medicine Co and Lincoln Co, where the grid of agricultural roads like 210th Ave and 180th Ave dominates the terrain. Genealogists may find interest in the Wergeland Cem, located north of Mud Cr. The presence of the Po (Post Office) and streets like Lone Tree St anchor the local identity of the town during this era of the early 2010s.
