2022 Map of Porterfield

About this map

The Peshtigo River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a rural Wisconsin region defined by small crossroad settlements and low-lying wetlands. The community of Porterfield sits north of the river, while Walsh occupies the central corridor, and Bagley Junction marks the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Porterfield Lutheran Church Cem and Saint Joseph Cem provides critical points for family research in this part of Marinette County. The drainage patterns of Mud Brook, Twin Cr, and Gravelly Brook emphasize the wet, level terrain that dictated the development of the local road grid, which includes family-named routes such as Ross Ln and Panske Rd.
