2016 Map of Porter

About this map

The town of Porter anchors the southern portion of this 2016 survey, situated just north of the Yellow Medicine Co Lincoln Co line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Lac qui Parle River, which winds through the northern sections, and the N Br Yellow Medicine River flowing near the settlement. The map reveals the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with numerous township boundaries such as t114n r44w and t115n r44w dividing the agricultural terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Wergeland Cem located on 180th Ave, providing a specific point of interest for family research. This modern topography documents the persistent rural character of the region, where named waterways like Canby Cr and Mud Cr intersect a dense network of county roads and avenues.
