2016 Map of Porterfield

About this map

Porterfield and the neighboring settlements of Walsh and Bagley Junction anchor this portion of Marinette County along the winding path of the Peshtigo River. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the waters of Twin Cr, Mud Brook, and Gravelly Brook meander through a low-lying terrain often marked by wetland pockets. In the southeast, the river widens significantly into the Bagley Flowage 1061, a notable water body that historically supported local power and industry. For genealogists, the map identifies local landmarks such as Saint Joseph Cem near Walsh. The layout of the roads, including the intersection of Co Hwy G and Co Hwy E, reveals the persistent grid of a rural community rooted in its timber and dairy heritage, maintaining its structure even as it transitions into the modern era.
