1963 Map of Porterfield

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Peshtigo River carves a central path through this mid-century Wisconsin landscape, its course interrupted by the Potato Rapids Dam and several notable Rapids. Settlement patterns follow the established rail corridors of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western, which link communities such as Crivitz, Loomis, and Porterfield. The map reveals a robust rural infrastructure of early education and faith, evidenced by numerous named schools like the Fairmont Sch and Woulf Sch, alongside the Porterfield Ch Cem and Harmony Cem. In the northeast, the waters of Lake Noquebay define the shoreline near Stephenson, while the southern reaches near the Little River show the transition toward Oconto County. Extensive Gravel Pits pepper the terrain, signaling the active extraction industries supporting the local economy.
